Instructions

Preparation

  • Rinse and Soak the chickpeas in enough water for about 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Chop onion, tomato and coriander leaves finely. Keep them aside till use.

Method

  • Pressure cook the chickpeas till they are soft. I cooked it for 3 whistles and in simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the chickpeas to drain the water completely.
  • Next take the cooked chickpeas in a wide bowl. Add onion, tomato, coriander leaves, salt, chaat masala and green chutney. Combine everything well.
  • Finely serve this black chickpeas chaat topping it generously with nylon sev.

  • Generously topping the chaat with sev is very important as it takes the deliciousness to next level.
  • You can even add grated carrot and sweet chutney to enhance it's taste.
