Call it a chaat or a salad, either way it’s easy to put this delicious dish together. You can serve it as an appetizer, side dish or even make a meal of it. A key ingredient that gives a chaat it’s unique taste is Chaat Masala, which is available at any Indian or ethnic grocery store. Alternatively, it’s easy enough to make at home – try my Chaat Masala recipe. You’ll notice that I haven’t specified any quantities for the ingredients listed below. Another key aspect of chaat preparation and consumption is that you should feel confident enough to say, quoting the legendary Frank Sinatra, “I did it my way….” ???? It must be mixed nicely, nicely to your liking. If you want to make it spicy, add a bit more of the Red Chili Powder. If you want to make it sweeter – add just a little more Tamarind Chutney or other sweet sauce. If you want it to taste funkier, then add a dash more of the Chaat Masala. You get the idea. Remember – you’re going to do it your way!
