About Aloo Chana Chat

Aloo Chana Chat is a healthy chat made using potatoes, white chickpeas, chat chutneys, spice powders, puri, onion, sev and coriander leaves. This is a guilt free snack that you can have anytime of the day.

Puri is added just for extra crunch so you can skip it if you don't have it. I usually have a pack of this puri dried version, I air fry them whenever needed that way it is not soaked in oil. You can replace it with cornflakes too.

If you are craving for chat in a hurry you can make this and enjoy. It satisfies your chat cravings and is whole some, filling and healthy too.
