Step 1

Drain and rinse your chickpeas. If they are not soft then add them to a pot with boiling water and simmer for 5-6 miutes or until softened and drain. Tip: Your chickpeas will seem harder when they cool.

Step 2

Mix all the remaining ingredients together - I like to add tomatoes last. taste and adjust for seasoning.

Step 3

You can make chana chaat ahead of time, but if making it a day ahead then mix in the onions and tomatoes before serving, upto a few hours before is fine.

Step 4

Sprinkle with the optional masala and any toppings you desire and serve.
