About Chatpate

Chatpate is the Nepali street snack of puffed rice (muri) tossed with boiled potatoes, chickpeas, onions, green chillies, coriander, lemon juice and a spicy achar dressing — mixed to order and eaten with a folded paper spoon. Cheap, loud with flavour and impossible to eat slowly, chatpate is the taste of school afternoons and bus parks in Nepal, and Nepali food trucks in Australia have brought it back.
