No Onion Kala Chana Aloo Chaat
Saturday, January 16, 2021
Kala Chana Chaat is Protein Packed Salad/Chaat made with Black Chickpeas
Boiled Potatoes, Cucumber & Tomatoes, tossed in Spices. This makes for a
perfect 4 PM Pick Me Up
I recently tried this Kala Chana Chaat using a slightly different method & we absolutely loved it
Sautéing the Spice Powders along with Potatoes & Chickpeas takes out the raw taste of the Masala & oil helps in coating the masalas quite well.
Serves 2-3
You Will Need:
- 1 cup Black Chickpeas
- 1 large Potato
- 1 ripe but firm Tomato - chopped (remove seeds if desired)
- 1 Cucumber - peeled, deseeded & chopped
- Fresh Coriander for Garnish
- Salt
Other Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 1/2 Or 3/4 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
- 1 teaspoon Amchur Powder - Dry Mango Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Roasted Jeera Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Chaat Masala
How To:
Soak Black Chana for plenty of water for 8 hours or overnight
Drain the water & Pressure cook with 1/2 teaspoon salt & 4 cups of water for 2 whistles
Boil the potato, peel & dice them
In a pan, heat oil & on very low flame add red chili powder & Amchur Powder & gives it a mix
Add Potatoes, Boiled Chana & some salt & Mix so that the spices coat well. Sauté for about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat & Transfer to a bowl
Add Chopped cucumber, tomatoes, Chaat Masala & Roasted Jeera Powder & mix well. Add salt if needed & mix well
Garnish with chopped coriander. You can add crushed Papdi before serving for that added crunch
Can I Substitute with Any Other Legume?
You can use White Chickpeas/Kabuli Chana or Green Chickpeas instead.
