I’m pretty sure I will catch some flak for the title of this post. Chaat means savoury snack in India. Street food. It also almost always includes chaat masala. Anything masala means a spice mix of sorts. This isn’t really a savoury snack and it doesn’t include chaat masala. If I included a masala you’d have to go out of your way to find it. Hunt around for an Indian food shop, get there and buy it. Bet it wouldn’t happen. You’d just never try this recipe. That would be too bad. The chicken in this appetizer is all Indian. Serve it on an Indian flat bread – that’s chicken chaat. The salad part – well that’s done somewhere I’m sure. Maybe. This makes a nice western style starter to any Indian meal. You can increase the portion size, add some chickpeas to the salad and drizzle it with a yoghurt dressing. That makes a great light main course.
