Want something delicious and healthy to break your fast? Try this simple Masala Chana Chaat recipe. I tried it with a slight twist in ingredients by adding pomegranate and mango chutney and it turned out to be delicious. For those not fasting, it can be eaten as a vegan/vegetarian salad as well.

  • 5ml (1 tsp) sea salt
  • 30g (1oz) fresh cilantro leaves

Preparation:

  1. Mix the onion, chilli, potatoes, chickpeas, pomegranate, garam masala, chilli powder and salt in a large bowl and stir thoroughly.
