All those who are resident of Attock City will agree with me that Azad Chat House is one of the best Chat shops in Attock, sweet and spicy chat will tantalize your taste buds. I am grateful to my Friend and relative Shazia Aunty, who taught me the copycat of Azad Chat. She taught me to make bondi in a different and unique style. Hope you will like her way of making Bondi. Pictures during demonstration are not clear because of low light in her kitchen. But end result I have captured after making Chat myself.
