This type of chana chat is easily available on the street or at roadside snack bars in Karachi, it is also known as a street food snack. A very popular snack that I share with you all, especially for those who are living abroad but are not easily available this type of snacks like chana chaat or Dahi Bhalla and laddu pethi
To prepare this recipe I used homemade papri, tamarind sauce, and boiled white chickpeas, you can follow the recipe step by step with photos
Tips for Chana Chaat:
  1. You can add more or less spice powder as per your taste buds
  2. When you boil the chickpeas, add some baking soda to the water while boiling
  3. Don’t eat green chili if you don’t want to eat a spicy and hot chaat
  4. If you cook chana chaat in a pressure cooker then the preparation time will be 30-45 minutes
  5. To cook the chickpeas soak the chickpeas overnight then add  3 to 4 water in  a pan  with the soaked  chickpeas and baking soda
  6. Canned chickpeas can be also  used instead of dried chickpeas
  7. You can even add some finely chopped cucumber, grated carrot, or beetroot to the chole chaat 
  8. To assemble this chana chaat sweet tamarind  sauce also is added
  9. Personally, I don’t like that’s why I made sweet and sour tamarind sauce but you can make it as desired
  10. Sweet and sour tamarind sauce is enough for use in chana chaat according to my taste however You can find out sweet tamarind sauce in my earlier post 
  11. Additionally, you can make green raita sauce for chana chaat here I used simple plain yogurt
  12. For making green sauce you put 1/3 cup coriander leaves, garlic, and green chili along with cumin seeds
  13. Blend them well without water add some salt to taste
  14. Now green raita sauce is ready to use in chana chaat
