Chaat is popular all over India. Oftentimes, however, chaat is not made of healthy bases. Today I’m going to show you how to make a healthier chaat.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of okra, chopped (and with the heads removed).
- 1/2 tablespoon of chili powder
- 1 tablespoon of cumin powder
- 2 teaspoons of tumeric
- 1/2 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons of avocado oil
- 1 cup of sev
- 1/4 cup of cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup of tomatoes, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup of yogurt
- 2 tablespoons of amchur (mango powder)
- 1 tablespoon of black salt
- 3 spoons of sweet chutney (see my recipe for that if needed)
- 3 spoons of green chutney (see my recipe for that if needed
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Instructions:
- Heat a pan with the avocado oil.
- Once the pan is heated enough add the chopped okra, tumeric, chili powder, onion, cumin powder, lemon juice tumeric, and garlic powder. Cook this for about 7 to 10 minuets or longer if needed (you should have the okra and the onion really infused with all those spices and the lemon as well as the okra and onion to become softer thanks to the heat).
- Let the okra and onion mixture (that you just made in step 2), cool for about a minuet or two before proceeding to the next step.
- Put your onion okra mixture on a plate.
- Add the amchur powder and black salt to the okra/onion mixture.
- Now add your tomatoes and cilantro leaves to the plate ( its the plate with the with the amchur powder, black salt, and okra/onion mxiture)
- Now add a layer of your yogurt on top of what you have for your chaat so far.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to your okra chaat.
- Serve!
