Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For extra crunch, top your chaat with a handful of crushed papdi, sev, or roasted peanuts just before serving to complement the softness of the chana.
  • If you prefer a smoky flavor, briefly roast the cooked chana over an open flame or in a hot pan before tossing with the masala paste.
  • Balance the tanginess by adding a spoonful of diced raw mango or pomegranate seeds for a colorful, refreshing twist and an added burst of flavor.
  • To make ahead, prepare the chana and masala paste in advance and refrigerate; assemble and garnish the chaat only when ready to serve to preserve the ideal texture and freshness.
