Bring the vibrant, bustling streets of India straight to your kitchen with this quick, tangy, and incredibly refreshing Street-Style Chana Chaat. It is the ultimate sweet, sour, and spicy snack.
Using our premium pre-boiled chickpeas and signature Tamarind Dates Chutney, you can toss this wholesome salad together in mere minutes. Finished with a dusting of tart Amchur and Pink Salt, it hits every flavor note perfectly without turning on the stove!
Ingredients
- 1 pack (200g) Boiled Chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium tomato, finely chopped
- 1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional)
- 3 tbsp Tamarind Dates Chutney
- 1/2 tsp Dry Mango Powder (Amchur)
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Powder (roasted if possible)
- Pink Salt Powder to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Method
Step 1 Drain and lightly rinse the Boiled Chickpeas. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Since they are already boiled to perfect tenderness, there is no cooking required!
Step 2 Add the finely chopped red onions, tomatoes, and green chillies to the bowl with the chickpeas. Toss lightly to combine the fresh ingredients.
Step 3 Sprinkle in the Dry Mango Powder (Amchur), Cumin Powder, and a pinch of Pink Salt Powder. Mix well so the dry spices coat the chickpeas evenly.
Step 4 Drizzle the Tamarind Dates Chutney over the top. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra citrusy, lip-smacking zing.
Step 5 Toss everything thoroughly so the sweet and sour chutney completely coats the chickpeas and mingles with the spices.
Step 6 Garnish generously with fresh coriander leaves. Serve immediately as a refreshing snack, or let it chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen!
Chef's Tip: For a true street-food experience, top this chaat with crushed papdi (crispy fried dough wafers), sev, or a handful of roasted peanuts right before serving to add a satisfying crunch!
