Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Chickpeas
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 small Green chili
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black salt
Instructions
Begin by soaking the chickpeas overnight in a large bowl. Ensure they are covered with plenty of water as they will expand.
The next day, drain the soaked chickpeas and transfer them to a pot. Cover with fresh water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 1 hour until the chickpeas are tender. You can also use canned chickpeas for convenience; drain and rinse them well before use.
While the chickpeas are cooking, finely chop the red onion, tomato, cucumber, and green chili. Set aside these vegetables.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chickpeas, chopped onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and green chili.
Add lemon juice, cumin powder, chaat masala, salt, and black salt to the mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Finely chop cilantro and sprinkle it on top of the chaat. Gently toss the chaat again to distribute the cilantro evenly.
Transfer the Sugar-Free Chana Chaat to a serving dish and enjoy it fresh as a snack or a side dish.
