Aloo Channa Chaat (Potato Garbanzo Snack)

Chaat is an Indian savory snack and there are tons of varieties. They are very easy to put together once you prepare the basic ingredients like chutneys in advance. You can also take shortcuts by buying some ingredients like sev from the store. The nice thing about chaats is that there is no serious recipe and it is very forgiving.When I was drawn into the chaat world, I have to admit that I went overboard. The whole week was a chaat week and we had about 5 – 7 varieties of chaats. You can cut the vegetables and store in air tight containers and it becomes even easier to assemble the snack. You will love these snacks that have a fresh flavor from the green chutneys and tanginess from the tamarind chutneys. Chaat masala adds that extra zing to the snack. Off to the recipe.
