Chana chaat is a tasty, tangy and easy variety of chaat snack made with white chickpeas (chana or chole), spices, herbs, onions, tomatoes and lemon. This chaat is quick to assemble if you have canned or leftover boiled chickpeas


There are many variations of chaat out there from aloo chaat to papdi chaat and I love every single one of them. However, this chana chaat recipe is the one I most frequently make at home, specially during evening snacks and when we don't want dinner.


This is very popular snacks on the streets of India, that tangy flavor is something should not miss out.

wow
