(Sweet, tangy, and spicy Indian chaat made from boiled chickpeas).

After making two chaat chutneys(Khajur-Imli chutney and Green chutney), how is it possible to not make chaat? So today, I am sharing the recipe for chole/chana chaat. This is a lovely dish that has so many flavors in it! It’s sweet, spicy, and chatpata! It is not just a great snack but a great meal option too! Sometimes, I make this chaat for lunch and trust me, no one is complaining!

Ingredients

• 2 cup chickpeas (Chana/Chole)

• 2 boiled potatoes (ubale aloo)

• 2 medium onion (pyaaz)

• 2 tomato (tamatar)

• 2 tbsp green chutney (hari chutney)

• 2 tbsp tamarind-dates chutney (khajur-imli chutney)

• 2 tbsp nylon sev (barik sev)

• 2 tbsp farsan (optional)

• 1tsp chaat masala

• 2 tsp red chili powder(lal tikha powder)

• salt as per taste

• 1 tbsp coriander leaves, finely chopped (Dhaniya)

Method

• Soak the chickpeas(chana) in water overnight. Drain the water in the morning and again soak them in freshwater. Add about 1/2tbsp salt and pressure cook them(5-6 whistles). The boiled chickpeas are ready. Keep aside.

• Finely chop onions, tomatoes, and coriander leaves. Cut boiled potatoes into small pieces or mash them roughly.

• In a bowl, add boiled chana. Add onion, tomatoes, potatoes, chaat masala, red chili powder, a little salt, green chutney, khajur-imli chutney, and coriander leaves. Mix well.

• Garnish with sev, farsan, and chopped coriander.

  CHANA CHAAT IS READY TO SERVE !!

Notes -

• To make this for the kids, skip adding green chutney as most kids don’t prefer spicy food. You can skip the onion too if required.

• The amount of chutneys used is according to personal preference.
