1
Tip the roasted chana into a mixing bowl and check for any loose skins.
2
Add the chopped onion, tomato, cucumber and coriander.
3
Sprinkle over the chaat masala, roasted cumin powder and salt.
4
Squeeze in the lemon juice and toss well.
5
Eat immediately while the chana is still crunchy; it softens if it sits too long.
