Mom used to make this warm aloo chana chaat often during winter months. It is very similar to delhi matar kulcha chaat, a popular indian street food, but has some extra added toppings like crushed papdis, sev etc. Like most indian chaat recipes, it is a delighful melange of textures and flavors. This north indian chaat recipe is quick to make if you have leftover chole in the fridge or canned chickpeas lurking in the pantry. Boiled chopped potatoes add a delicious heartiness to this indian chickpea recipe, but can be skipped if you wish. Chickpeas chaat is an easy recipe full of enticing flavors from indian spices - chaat masala,crushed anardana (dried pomegranate seeds) and tangy kala namak(indian black salt). You can purchase all these spices from south asian grocery stores. When it comes to chaat, its all in the toppings! The green chutney & tamarind chutney add spicy & sweetish tang while the green chilies bring in the heat and the crushed papdi and sev make for a a crunchy bite. If you have to have dahi in your chaat, you could also drizzle some beaten yogurt.
