Kala Chana Chaat/ Black Chana Chaat/ Vegan Kala Chana Chaat/ Kale Chane Chaat



Chaats are widely popular across India and one among them is Kala chana chaat. Kala chana is also known as Indian black chickpea. Today, I have pressure-cooked the Kala chana dal and used it in the preparation of chaat. One can simply substitute with sprouts as well which is considered as the most healthy form to eat. Indian black chickpea's glycemic index is 28 which is considered a low value, hence it is good for diabetics as well. 
They can omit the potatoes and make the chaat.
