Instructions

Season: Stir with 2-3 tablespoon of water, then season with salt, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and chaat masala.

Assemble and Serve: To serve, add seasoned yogurt to a bowl, top with green chutney and sweet chutney, then scoop in your chaat mixture. Garnish with extra yogurt, sprinkle some bhuna jeera and a dash of red chili powder.
Substitutions
Paneer: You can replace paneer with tofu for a vegan option. Yogurt: Instead of regular curd, opt for dairy-free yogurt to keep the chaat vegan. Potatoes: You can skip potatoes, if you prefer to make the chaat lighter. Chutneys: Feel free to experiment with any chutney of your choice or a favorite hot sauce for the chaat.
Variations
Add Crunch: Toss in some chopped nuts or Roasted Fox nuts for extra crunch and flavor. Mix Veggies: Add finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or cucumbers. Cheesy Twist: You can garnish grated cheddar for a cheesy flavor.
Storage
Refrigerate: Transfer the chaat to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep Ingredients Separate: For best freshness, store the sprouted moong, paneer, and boiled potatoes separately from the yogurt and chutneys. Assemble just before serving. Avoid Storing with Chutneys: Chutneys can make the chaat soggy, so it’s best to add them fresh when you’re ready to eat.
How to serve
The chaat should be served immediately, otherwise it will get soggy. You can enjoy it:
As a light and nutritious snack. As a satisfying light lunch or dinner. For festive occasions as a healthy and flavorful alternative to traditional snacks.
