ALOO CHANA CHAAT | POTATO CHICKPEAS SALAD | CHATPATA ALOO CHAT

Steps:

• Soak tamarind in around 1/2 cup of hot water for an hour and then squeeze out the juice from tamarind. Discard the fibrous pulp.
• To this tamarind water, add salt, brown sugar or jaggery, chaat masala and mix. Bring this to a boil for 4 to 5 minutes or till it thickens.
• I like cripsy potatoes for the chaat. So I have deep fried them in oil. For a healthy version you can simply use boiled potatoes.
• For additional crunch, after frying potatoes, I have fried around 4 tbsp of boiled/canned chickpeas. (this is optional)
• In a large bowl, add boiled chickpeas, red onion, tomatoes, coriander leaves, chaat masala, lemon juice, salt to taste, chile powder, tamarind chutney and toss till combined.
• Finally add the fried potatoes and mix well.
• Transfer this to serving bowl. Garnish it with sev, fried chickpeas.
• Aloo Chana Chaat or Potato Chickpea Salad is ready. Serve immediately and enjoy!
