Directions
Aloo Channa Chaat (Tangy Potato Chickpea Snack),This is a delightfully sweet and tangy snack or side dish made with chickpeas and potatoes. Tamarind paste is readily available in Indian grocery stores. Update based on a review – Shallots can be substituted with mild onions and is meant to be raw. This imparts a special crunchy flavor that is excellent in all Indian chaat and some Indian salads. Also remember that tamarind is a distinctive taste and if you’re new to it, start with less and go by taste. Experiment and enjoy!,I also used red onion instead of shallot. I make my own tamarind syrup so used that instead of paste. Since the tamarind syrup is made with sugar, I just omitted that and it was fine. The lime squeezed on top really made the flavors pop. You called this a ‘snack’. We had it for dinner and found it quite filling by itself.,I also used red onion instead of shallot. I make my own tamarind syrup so used that instead of paste.
