4.5 YEARS OF MAKING SYDNEY’S BEST CHAATS and I’m still amazed by how many people have never heard of chaat!
Last night, Claude confirmed something I’ve come to understand about how we got to this point in Australia. For decades, Indian food here has largely been represented by restaurant dishes, while one of India’s greatest culinary traditions—its street food culture, has remained relatively unknown.
Through Flyover, we’ve made it our mission to honour the original custodians of chaat in India ~ the street food vendors who, through dedication to their craft, generations of repeating the same recipes, and pure muscle memory, create the perfect balance of sweet, sour, spicy, crunchy, fried and fresh in every single bite.
Chaat isn’t just a dish. It’s a craft honed over generations, where texture, temperature and flavour collide in a way that’s almost impossible to explain and even harder to replicate.
In fact, after a long conversation about chaat last night, even Claude eventually ran out of words and landed on the simplest explanation: “You just have to try it to know it.” 🙂
And honestly, that might be the best description of chaat there is.
Come try the real magic at Flyover this week ❤️.
