Our Menu

The variety of chaats and ways of eating them is astonishing, but most of these delectable dishes are made up of five essential components that create an unforgettable sensory experience with a plant-centric twist:

Base: A crunchy foundation like samosa or papri (flour cracker).

Sauce: Chutney and yogurt are the most common. Plummy tamarind and the sweet bite of mint cilantro. The Factory makes its own tofu yogurt!

Crisp: Thin bits of fried potato called sev or puffed rice create an additional layer of texture.

Vegetables: Tomato, onion and potato add flavor and texture. How about some grains, sprouts and seasonal toppings as well?

Spice: Chaat masala, a spice mix, is the umami of Indian flavors that enhances everything. A blend of spices like coriander, ginger, mango powder and Hing or Asafoetida powder, derived from the root of a perennial herb that looks like a fennel plant.

Origin of Chaat

Like most things Indian, chaat has ancient origins with references to some of our modern-day dishes appearing in Sanskrit writings as far back as 500 BC. More recently (only about 400 years ago), the chaat took form in northern India when the land was ruled by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (builder of the Taj Mahal), in what is now known as Uttar Pradesh. Travelers from other lands picked up on it as they journeyed through the continent and added their own influences. Now, in a country that is filled with countless foods, traditions, religions and languages, chaats are a unifying culinary experience.
