Execution Timeline

9 SEQUENTIAL TIMED STEPS

1BOIL THE CHICKPEAS
18 MIN

Add the soaked chickpeas to a saucepan with enough water to cover them and a pinch of salt, then boil until soft enough to mash easily between two fingers.

Tip: Chickpeas are done when they mash easily with light pressure — undercooked ones stay firm at the center
2DRAIN AND COOL THE CHICKPEAS
5 MIN

Drain the boiled chickpeas in a strainer and let them cool to room temperature before mixing with the vegetables.

Tip: Mixing warm chickpeas with the chutneys makes the salad go soggy — let them cool fully first
3CHOP THE ONION
2 MIN

Peel and finely chop the onion into small, even pieces.

4CHOP THE TOMATO
2 MIN

Deseed and finely chop the tomato so the bowl doesn’t turn watery.

Tip: Scoop out the watery seed pulp before chopping to keep the salad from getting soggy
5CHOP THE CUCUMBER
2 MIN

Finely chop the cucumber into pieces roughly the same size as the onion and tomato.

6COMBINE CHICKPEAS AND VEGETABLES
2 MIN

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled chickpeas with the chopped onion, tomato, and cucumber.

7ADD THE CHUTNEYS AND SPICES
2 MIN

Drizzle in the tamarind chutney and mint chutney, sprinkle over the chaat masala and red chili powder, then squeeze in the lemon juice.

8TOSS EVERYTHING TOGETHER
2 MIN

Toss the mixture gently but thoroughly until every piece of chickpea and vegetable is evenly coated in the chutneys and spices.

Tip: Taste and adjust with an extra squeeze of lemon or pinch of chaat masala before plating
9DIVIDE INTO BOWLS AND TOP
2 MIN

Divide the tossed chaat between two bowls and top each with sev, pomegranate seeds, and chopped cilantro.

Tip: Add the sev only right before serving so it stays crunchy instead of turning soft
