Drawing inspiration from chaat, a classic savoury street food in India, this chickpea salad recipe effortlessly brings together the vibrant flavours of traditional chaat in a simple, quick-to-prepare dish. Essential to this salad is bhujia sev - a crispy, seasoned snack made from gram flour - which lends a satisfying crunch and an added depth of flavour. Available in mild or spicy varieties, you can choose bhujia sev according to your preference for spice.

Rather tasty, but it is way too spicy for my personal liking.

As a pakistani I can confirm that it’s a really tasty and healthy twist of chaat. Will definitely make it again !

Hello, what can I give instead Bhuija sev?

Hi Žaneta, you could omit the bhujia sev, or perhaps use crispy fried onions, crushed tortilla chips, or more roasted chickpeas for a similar crunchy texture 🙂

Ok, thank you. I 'll try it. 😊

This version of chaat was delicious and healthy…. Everyone like the bite sized flavors that you are able to get in one scoop - I didn’t think I could get it past my daughter and sons but they prefer this version- oh well I’ll take it like a champ 😂

Aw so glad that it was enjoyed, Sonia! Always a big compliment with the kiddos enjoy a recipe 🙌

Delicious and easy to whip up. I would advise to really put the salt optional as the store bought chaat masala mix is already quite salty, so the salad turned out a bit too salty.

Hey Jonathan, thanks for taking the time to leave the review. Indeed our homemade chaat masala mix has less salt than store-bought versions, so if you're using a store-bought mix, you may need to add less salt. We've updated the recipe to make this more clear 🙌
