Notes
- This chaat is best enjoyed at room temperature or cold. Make sure that the vegetables, fruit and moong sprouts are cold when you make it.
- Always smell the moong sprouts before using them, unfortunately they go bad very fast if not handled or store properly.
- You can boil the moong sprouts if you wish. Chill them before using. Also make sure that they are dry else the chaat will get soggy. I steam them lightly to keep the crunchy texture.
- Adjust the quantity of chutney and spices as per your liking.
- Serving - This chaat is best served immediately. However you can keep all the elements ready to go. Just toss together and serve.
- To Make Gluten free - Skip the sev and papri. If by chance you are using store bought chutneys, make sure that they are gluten free as well.
- You can add some roasted peanuts or cashews to this chaat.
- You can add some cubed potatoes as well if you wish.
