Chana Chaat Recipe
Chana Chaat is a traditional Indian and Pakistani delight with a tangy and spicy taste. It's the kind of appetizer that people often use with main dishes, and it is mostly found on the streets of Pakistan and India.
Ingredients
- 0.5 Kg Chickpeas (Chana)
- 2 Tomatoes
- 1 White Onion (chopped)
- 1 Potatoes - aloo
- 0.8 kg Dairy yogurt
- 1 small Capsicum
- 3 Green chilis
- Cabbage
- Coriander leaves
- Imli sauce
- Papdi (made with gram flour)
- 3 tbsp chaat masala
Instructions
- Soak the chickpeas in a bowl and leave it for an hour.
- Pressure-cook chickpeas (chana) for 45 mins on medium flame with 1/2 tbsp salt. Add 2 potatoes in the last 15 minutes.
- After boiling chickpeas, add yogurt to a boil and whisk (to beat) it for a minute. I prefer thin yogurt as it easily mixes with the chickpeas and other ingredients.
- Add cabbage, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, capsicum, cucumber, Coriander, chaat masala, salt, imli ginger sauce, and papi. Mix thoroughly.
- To add extra toppings, sprinkle imli ginger sauce, yogurt chaat masala, and papdi to enhance the texture of the chana chat. Ready to serve!

Notes
- While boiling the chickpeas, don't forget to add one tablespoon of salt to boost the flavor.
- Don't add water to chana chat; it will make the entire dish mild and less spicy.
