About Chana Chaat
Chana chaat is boiled chickpeas and potato tossed with onion, tomato, chaat masala, tamarind chutney and sometimes yogurt. It is one of the healthier street snacks — a bowl is around 260 kcal with 10 g protein and 8 g fibre — as long as it is not buried in papri and sev.
Tip: The crunchy toppings (papri, sev, bhujia) are fried; a handful adds 100 kcal.
