Chana Chaat (Kikärtssallad med Chaat Masala)

What is Chaat? The Flavourful World of Indian Street Food

“Chaat” is a word used to describe an entire category of savoury, tangy, and spicy snacks from the Indian subcontinent. The term comes from the Hindi word ‘chatna,’ which means ‘to lick,’ perfectly describing how irresistibly delicious these dishes are. The defining characteristic of any chaat is a complex harmony of sweet, sour, spicy, and salty flavours, with a wonderful mix of crunchy and soft textures.

Our Chana Chaat is a perfect introduction to this culinary world. It’s one of the healthiest and most refreshing types of chaat, built on a wholesome base of chickpeas (chana).

The Anmol Difference: Freshness You Can Taste

A great Chana Chaat is all about the freshness of its ingredients and the perfect balance of its signature spice blend, the “chaat masala.” At Anmol, we’ve perfected this balance, making our version a light yet satisfying favourite in Stockholm.

• Freshly Prepared for You: We don’t make big batches of this to sit around. Our Chana Chaat is prepared fresh, ensuring the onions are crisp, the tomatoes are juicy, and the flavours are bright and vibrant.
• Our Signature Chaat Masala: The heart and soul of this dish is the spice blend. We use our own house-made chaat masala, a unique mix of tangy dried mango powder (amchoor), black salt (kala namak), cumin, and other aromatic spices. It’s what gives our chaat its unmistakable, addictive flavour.
• Perfectly Cooked Chickpeas & Potatoes: We cook our chickpeas and potatoes to the perfect texture—soft and tender, but never mushy. They provide a satisfying and wholesome base for the zesty dressing.
• A Healthy & Wholesome Choice: Naturally vegetarian, vegan, and packed with protein and fibre, our Chana Chaat is a delicious choice that you can feel good about eating.

How to Best Enjoy Your Chana Chaat

Chana Chaat is a wonderfully versatile dish:

• As a Light Lunch or Snack: It’s a complete, satisfying meal on its own when you want something that isn’t heavy.
• As a Refreshing Appetizer: It’s the perfect starter to awaken your palate before a richer main course.
• As a Party Side Dish: Serve a large bowl at your next gathering—it’s always a crowd-pleaser!

For the best experience, give it a good stir before eating to ensure every ingredient is coated in the delicious dressing.
