King of Chaat Hazratganj: Golden Tawa Fried Matar Chaat & Lucknowi Pani Puri

The Sizzle of Pure Awadhi Pea Chaat

Tucked just off Mahatma Gandhi Marg in Hazratganj, King of Chaat has satisfied late-afternoon cravings for decades with its signature shallow-fried dried pea patties.

The mastery lies in the tawa technique: crisp on the exterior while steaming and pillowy inside, seasoned lightly with rock salt, roasted cumin, pungent hing, and sour lemon juice—a light, tangy delight that encapsulates the street wisdom of old Awadh.
