WHAT IS A CHANA CHAAT?
10-Minute Pakistani Chana Chaat With Yogurt is a type of chaat. A must in Pakistani snack, nails the balance with its tang, crunch, and satisfaction in this quick-fix version. Perfect for your next tea bash or Iftar spread - gotta give it a shot!
This Chana Chaat version originated in Pakistan. It's a no cook and a cold version of Chana Chaat. Chana Chaat is vegetarian recipe just like many other Pakistani Iftar items like: Kala Chana Chaat and Fruit Chaat.
WHAT IS CHAAT?
First of all, the word "Chaat" comes from the Urdu/Hindi word "Lick". Chaat is savory and tarty yet sweet with the help of yogurt mixture and Khatti Meethi Chutney. Chaat can be found at birthday parties, street food, tea party or Iftar table during Ramadan.
WHAT KIND OF CHICKPEAS WE NEED?
Not every chickpea is alike. Take black chickpeas, small and with a unique flavor distinct from the larger Kabuli chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans. For recipes like Murgh Cholay and Chana Masala, we specifically call for garbanzo chickpeas. The same type is essential for this recipe.
INGREDIENTS
- Chickpeas- Get garbanzo beans but if you dont have those on hand you can subtitute black chickpeas.
- Potato- I used half a medium-size golden potato.
- Onion- I used red onion but you can use yellow onion as well.
- Tomato- I used one medium tomato.
- Powdered spices and salt- This will give the recipe a lot of flavor.
- Yogurt- The yogurt mixture will be sweet and tangy due to sugar, salt, a mix of chaat masala and black salt.
HOW TO MAKE CHANNA CHAAT?
Make your chutneys, Yogurt mixture, and chop your onion and tomato, boil your potato in the microwave and cut in cube.
Rinse chickpeas underwater and place it in a plate.
Add lemon juice, salt, and powdered spices.
Pour the yogurt mixture.
Add the onion and tomato.
Now add potato.
Add cilantro.
Lastly, add sev.
Enjoy!
HOW TO STORE IT?
This Chana Chaat recipe can't be assembled a day or two in advance. However, you can prep for it by boiling chickpeas if you don't plan to use can chickpeas for your chaat. onion, tomato, cilantro, can be chopped in advance. Yogurt mixture can be ahead of time. The chutneys can be made ahead of time. When you're ready to serve just assemble it.
To store it refrigerator is your best option. It'd last in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Although it will get soggy because of the yogurt and chutneys. I would't recommend freezing it.
