About

Another street food classic, chickpea/garbanzo bean chaat can be found all over India and is quite essential for all-day snacking. It also makes a really fun starter to an Indian feast. Mowgli fans will be familiar with my Yogurt Chat Bombs – this is basically the deconstructed version. You can mix up the toppings to suit your own taste, building your own chaat bowl at the table. This is something I’m always a huge fan of – make it yours!
