Instructions

Dice boiled potatoes, onion, tomato, and optionally, finely chopped green chili for a bit of spice.
In a bowl or plate, spread the yogurt. Then add boiled chickpeas, potatoes, onion, tomato, and green chili (if using).
Add roasted cumin powder, black salt, chaat masala, and a pinch of regular salt.
Adjust green and tamarind chutneys for a tangy, spicy flavor. Add a bit of Kashmiri red chili powder if you like mild heat.

Notes

Enjoy the chaat immediately for the best crunchy, tangy, and spicy taste!
Adjust the spices as needed, skipping the chili if you prefer a milder flavor.
Homemade chutneys add the best flavor and can be stored in the fridge for easy use.
Use black or green chickpeas or sprouts as variations.
