Here is another all-rounder. The Chana chaat salad works well as a starter before a main meal or as a filler between meals or even as a healthy tiffin for school kids. Like the Watermelon salad, this too is very simple and easy to make. So, if you are looking to make a quick but tasty snack, this is a good option. I prefer to stick to just the chana for the salad but, one can also add things like diced boiled potato or Papri (like in Papri chaat) or Sev (like in bhelpuri). It’s up to your individual taste and liking. The other reason I prefer my version is that I can serve the Chaat Salad later. If you add other stuff, make sure to serve immediately, or else the chaat gets mushy. So, get Chaaty and food around with the popular Chana Chaat Salad.
