Corn chickpea chaat is a delectable, spiced and tangy snack made with steamed or boiled sweet corn, cooked chickpeas and spices.
Corn chickpea chaat is an easy vegan snack that you can prepare quickly or whenever you are short of time. Even bachelors can make it as it does not require any cooking expertise.
Generally, we add coriander leaves to the chaat recipes that we make. However, the flavours of parsley, nicely blended with the Indian ingredients tastes really good.
The corn chickpea chaat can be just had as it is. It can also be served as a starter and the best time to have it is while it is raining!!! Check out my other appetizer recipes here.
