I ate aloo chana chaat in Mirchi restaurant at Esplanade here in Singapore. I love that restaurant for the tasty food, ambience, location – yes location because, it is a life saver when visitors come and we take them to esplanade /Merlion and after the long roaming we will sure be tired and hungry. This restaurant saves us those times. Though I am not a big fan of their aloo chana chaat, I always wanted to try at home as I know I can make it better😊. I make channa masala or pindi chole once a week for Aj’s lunch box and I save some cooked plain channa / raw soaked channa for chaat and have had so many times, only that I have not clicked and posted here. Last two weeks I planned to picture but again I kept postponing. So today is the day, I made, clicked and then had it😀. There are many versions, here is my version anyways.

Aloo chana chaat recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian | Recipe Category: Snack
Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Serves: 2

Ingredients

Chana (cooked) – 1 cup

Potato – 1

Onion – 1

Sweet chutney – As needed

Green chutney – As needed

Lemon juice – 1 tsp

Sev – As needed

Chaat masala – 1/2 tsp

Red chilli powder – 1/2 tsp

Chopped coriander – 2 tblsp

Method

Cook potato, peel and cube it into bite sized pieces. I prick in 2 –3 places and microwave for 2 minutes, in between turning it upside down. Chop onion very finely. Gather all the ingredients and keep ready. Place channa, potato in a mixing bowl, add onion, red chilli powder, chaat masala, lemon juice, both chutneys and coriander leaves.

Mix gently with a salad spoon and lastly add the sev lastly. Top with more chutneys and sev if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

You can skip onion in this recipe. You can also add tomato along with onion.
Chaat masala is the only thing for salt, so add it according to your taste.
I love more sweet chutney in my chaat, so add chutneys according to your preference.

Yummy and a filling homemade chaat is what you have in your hands, why to go to chaat stands to eat it out?
