Mango Channa Chaat

Mango channa chaat 

And why not? Continuing to celebrate Summer with Mangoes, Chaat and chickpeas (Channa) seems like an obvious choice.

And if it is 100% Oil-Free, what more reason not to make this, right?

This Mango Channa Chaat is a medley of flavours and textures from the sweetness n silkiness of ripe and raw mangoes, the protein textures from the boiled chickpeas and the various flavours from the spices and toppings.

As with any chaat (Indian street food), this can be customised and spiced up as per personal choice. A little bit of this and a little more of that, and you have a flavour bomb with each spoonful.
