At this Christmastime affair a small snacks table, free to all comers, dispensed hot milk tea as well as deep-fried tidbits wetted down with a tamarind-tinted sauce. Also available was a crunchy chat, or chaat, a word that denotes a wide variety of savory Indian street food. It's unclear how the ingredients were sourced, but this chat had a very Americanized bent. Just the tea, thanks.
