Notes
- Curd - Use thick curd that is not sour. Adding sugar and salt balances the taste and flavour.
- Makhana - Always roast makhana until crisp else it will be chewy while easting.
- Chutneys - You can prepare the chutneys in advance and store it. If you are not able to make it at home then you can use store bought chaat chutneys as it is easily available now.
- Assemble and Serve - Once makhana is mixed with curd, top up with other ingredients and serve immediately.
- Measures - I have not added measurements for chutneys, sev, pomegranate and spice powders as it can be as per your liking and taste.
