Chickpea: Most people begin making chaat with pre-boiled chickpea from a can or freezer as soaking and boiling chickpea is time-consuming. Alternatively, I prefer to boil a large batch of chickpeas and freeze in smaller portions for easy excess to homemade preservative-free chana.

Tamarind chutney: I prefer making a large batch of tamarind chutney. As you can store it for months in the fridge. I’ve shared a quick small recipe here but any imli chutney should be good.More accompaniments: Chips like kurkure are innovative additions while papri and sev are always added to chaat for extra crunch in every bite. All these are readily available in Indian stores in the snack section.
To assemble the chaat bowl, begin with aloo chana at the bottom, imli chutney, and yogurt on the top. Then finish with onion, tomato, cilantro, chilies, lemon, and chaat masala. Some people add spicy green herb chutney and red-colored sweet chutney but I felt that’ll make the recipe a bit complicated and it tastes great just without it. Trust me! Hungry for snacks?
