Chap Chatni (Chap-p chutney)… the name itself evokes a wave of nostalgia; of the times when sneaking out of the school gates to buy eatables during the recess (lunch break) was common. The carts loaded with seasonal Indian berries (Remember Ber/ Hiramoti?), cucumber, raw mangoes, fresh tamarind, starfruit etc would be buzzing with the kids buying stuff in a hurry. Of course there were Vada paos, Samose, Barf gola (Chuski), lemonade etc that our moms never approved of but were still bought with our ‘barely existing pocket money’!
