Notes
1. Chick peas and black gram can be boiled before hand and keep refrigerated till required.
2. Warm boiled chick peas in the microwave just before serving.
3. The addition of red and green chutney gives a sweet and savoury taste to the chaat. If you don’t want you can skip it.
4. I have also added papdi to this chaat which gives a crunchy taste to the chaat, if you want it oil free skip these papdis.
