METHOD · 3 STEPS

prep · ~2 min
Prep the apple.
1.Wash and core the apple. Do not peel.
2.Dice into small, even cubes (about 1 cm).
TIPKeep the peel on for extra fiber and a pop of color.
mix · ~1 min
Toss everything together.
1.In a mixing bowl, add the roasted chana and diced apple.
2.Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture.
3.Sprinkle chaat masala, black pepper, and salt.
4.Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
TIPToss gently so the apple cubes don't break.
garnish · ~1 min
Garnish and serve immediately.
1.Transfer to a serving bowl.
2.Scatter chopped coriander leaves on top.
3.Serve right away while the apple is crisp.
TIPDon't let this sit — the apples soften and release water, diluting the tangy seasoning.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

7 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use unsalted roasted chana so you can control the salt level yourself.
2
Dice the apple into uniform 1 cm cubes for even coating and bite-size ease.
3
Toss gently with a spatula so the apple cubes stay intact and don't bruise.
4
Add lemon juice just before serving to keep the apple from browning.
5
Chill the roasted chana and apple beforehand for an extra-refreshing snack.
6
Sprinkle chaat masala gradually and taste as you go — it can quickly overpower.
7
Serve immediately after garnishing to maintain the apple's crunch and the seasoning's pop.
