Sev Aloo Papdi Chaat

They say "All is fair in love and war". I would like to add just one more thing - Chaat. Why? Well, simply because most chaats come out of mixing just about anything you like. So, one day I started off with boiling potatoes thinking I will make Aloo Chaat. Then I suddenly remembered I had cucumbers...oh, and Sev as well. So things tended towards Sev Puri. Not to forget the papdis that we purchased a week ago.....umm.. I'm thinking Papdi Chaat. Then *boom* I had this idea.. why not combine all the three? After all, there are NO rules to making chaat. And I had it MY WAY!!
