Ingredients
Chaat Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpeas chana, boiled, green
- 1/4 cup Cabbage grated and boiled
- 1/4 cup Beetroot grated and boiled
- 1 Tbsp Chili Paste green
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
For Serving & Flavor
- 1/4 cup Hung Yogurt greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp Moringa Masala
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the boiled green chickpeas, grated and boiled beetroot, grated and boiled cabbage, green chili paste, salt, and moringa masala.
- Gently mash and mix all the ingredients together until well combined. This helps the flavors meld and creates a cohesive texture.
- Heat the sesame oil in a pan or griddle. Take a handful of the chana mixture and shape it into a small patty.
- Lightly cook the patties in the sesame oil for a few minutes per side, until they are heated through and slightly crispy. This adds a pleasant warmth and nutty flavor.
- Serve the warm chana beetroot patties with a dollop of hung curd. Sprinkle with a pinch of moringa masala for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For added texture and flavor, lightly roast the cooked green chana in a non-stick pan with a touch of sesame oil before assembling the chaat.
- If you prefer a tangier profile, try adding a small amount of finely chopped raw mango or a squeeze of lemon juice along with the hung curd.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle roasted peanuts or pumpkin seeds on top just before serving, which also boosts protein and healthy fats.
- To make this chaat vegan, swap the hung curd with coconut yogurt or a thick cashew-based yogurt alternative for a creamy, dairy-free finish.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less green chili or chili powder.
- For a fresher take, incorporate some chopped fresh cilantro or mint leaves just before serving.
- If you don't have hung curd, Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute, although the texture will be slightly different.
Storage Instructions
- This chaat is best enjoyed fresh. However, leftover components (excluding the chutneys) can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble the chaat just before serving to maintain optimal texture and flavor.
