The chana chaat served in miniature sized pooris and with sev sprinkled on top! Delightful snack! :)
Chana Chaat
INGREDIENTS
1 big mug of cooked chana/chickpeas (I prefer fresh, not canned!)
½ to ¾ cup of sweet tamarind sauce
3 potatoes, peeled, diced into tiny pieces and then boiled until soft, n drained
1 onion diced very finely
juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp. red chili powder
1 tsp. freshly ground cumin powder
1 tsp. red chili flakes
2-3 green chilies chopped
some coriander, chopped
salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix everything together. Taste and adjust flavors according to preference. Serve in pooris with sev sprinkled on top or can be had in a bowl with crushed crispy papuri. I served this in pooris (store-bought), and loved the burst of flavors when biting into the pooris! Very yummy and quite healthy! :)

Salaam! I made these gol gappay today!!! Mmm they were so yummy! Thank u so much. May Allah bless you always!
ASA, should I use sooji powder or regular course sooji?
W/Salaam, not too coarse, more like fine-granules texture or powder.
Dear Fauzia,
Thanks so much for these fantastic recipes !!!!! I have never come across recipes that are explained so precisely. You are doing an amazing job and keep up the good work. Lots of duas your way.
I made the golgappas and they turned out nicely:) I have one questions regarding the storing process. Are u suppose to put the airtight container in the refrigerator or in a cabinet. My stored ones got soggy as I put the container in the cabinet.Please let me know the proper method. Regards.
An airtight container will be fine, although if you live in humid environments then it is best to make them fresh so they remain really nice and crispy. Thanks for the lovely feedback! :)
Hi,

is it instant yeast?
