    4. Afterwards put the soaked black chickpeas into it.
    5. Sprinkle the roasted 1/4 teaspoon haldi, 1/2 red chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon garam masala, 1/4 teaspoon amchur powder, 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder & 1/2 teaspoon salt
    6. Mash black chickpeas thoroughly with the help of big serving spoon.

    9. Drizzle 1 teaspoon taramind sauce on it.
    10 Put 2 tablespoon yogurt in chat.
    11. In that mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 finely chopped onion, 2tablespoon chopped tomato, 1boiled potato (cubed), and 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves & 2 tablespoon finely chopped mint leaves. Mix them well to create a flavorful base for the chaat.
    12. add 1/2 chopped cucumber.

Notes

  • If you want to make the chaat even healthier, you can replace sev with roasted chickpeas or crushed papdi (a crispy Indian snack) for crunchiness.
  • Additionally, you can add more green vegetables like capsicum or boiled sweet potatoes for added nutrition.
