Makhana chaat

A quick, tangy snack that takes about 5 minutes. Use Classic Salted or Lightly Salted makhana.

Ingredients

• 2 cups roasted makhana
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 small tomato, finely chopped (optional)
• 1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional)
• ½ tsp chaat masala
• ¼ tsp black salt (optional)
• A pinch of red chilli powder
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped

Method

1. Put the makhana in a bowl and lightly crush it with your hands into bite-size pieces.
2. Add the onion, tomato and green chilli.
3. Sprinkle the chaat masala, black salt and red chilli powder. Toss well.
4. Squeeze in the lemon juice and mix again.
5. Garnish with coriander and serve straight away, so the makhana stays crisp.

Tip: If you use Lightly Salted makhana, add the black salt slowly and taste first.
