If you are looking for a snack recipe that is easy to put together and healthy at the same time with a great taste then this masala chana chat is the perfect one for you. This recipe can be made in a jiffy provided you have boiled brown chana / chickpeas at hand.
Brown chana or chickpeas are high in fiber & protein & contain several other essential vitamins & minerals. They form a great deal of protein source for the vegetarians.
Masala chana chaat can be found through out Hyderabad on small little kiosks at all market places. They serve the chaat packed in folded news papers topped with lots of red chili powder making it very very spicy, it will both make you drool and open your tear gates at the same time. Therefore for me the best part of making it at home is adjusting the spice levels as per the taste.
Ingredients:
- Brown chana / chickpeas - 1 cup
- Onion - 1 small
- Red chili powder - 1/2 tsp
- Lemon juice - 1/2 tsp
- Salt - as required
- Coriander leaves - few
Method:
- Soak chickpeas in water for 4 to 5 hrs or overnight.
- Drain the water well and pressure cook the chickpeas with little salt.
- Chop the onion finely.
- Take all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Adjust the spice levels and serve.
