Saturday afternoon, I was wondering if there was a diet meal I could have. I asked my mother, and she told me about the boiled chickpeas she had frozen a couple of days ago. So, I decided to make "Channa Chaat" right away.
Channa Chaat is a popular Indian snack where cooked chickpeas are tossed with fresh-cut onions, tomatoes, tamarind chutney, ground aromatic spices, and herbs. This easy-to-make Channa Chaat is spicy, slightly sour, and sweet, with a punch of so many flavors and textures.
Here's how I made the delicious Channa Chaat:
Firstly, I boiled 2 potatoes on high flame. Only two? Yes, because I wanted to make it just for my mother and me. Then, I peeled the potatoes very well and let them dry. Once they were dry, I chopped them into small, equal square pieces as shown in the picture.
Secondly, I chopped 1 tomato 🍅 and 1 fresh onion into small pieces. Later, I cut a green chili, adding its spicy flavor to my Chaat.
That was the vegetable part.
Here come the spices:
Now for the most awaited part: the chickpeas. I thawed the frozen chickpeas and took half a bowl of them. I added all the finely chopped vegetables into the bowl after washing them. Then, I added all the spices. Lastly, I squeezed the lemon and spread it thoroughly over the bowl, mixing everything well.
Tadaa, here’s the final look! I’m not exaggerating; this Channa Chaat was actually very delicious 😋. The bowl finished in no time.
I hope you got the recipe and will try it in your own homes as well.
I will catch you all in my next blog. Until then, goodbye beautiful people ♥️
