Pro Tips for Cooking Chatpata Aloo Paneer Chana Chaat Recipe:
Tip number 1:-
I have used white chickpea in this aloo paneer chana chaat recipe, you can take black chana also in this chat recipe.
Tip number 2:-
When you soak chana (chickpea) in water, soak chickpea in very hot water, because doing this saves your lot of time,
If you soak chana in normal water, then chickpea takes 8 to 10 hours to become soft,
But
If you soak chickpea in very hot water, then it will take only 1 hour for chicken to become soft.
And this will save your time also in cooking.
Tips number 3:-
If you are taking 1 cup of chickpea, then take 3 cups of water quantity for soaking and cooking chicken pea in a cooker.
1 cup chickpea = 3 cups water
500 grams of chickpea = 1.5 litre water
If you take less water, then, when you cook chickpea in cooker, then water absorbs fast and your chickpea can get burn.
Tip number 4:-
I made this aloo paneer chana chat recipe for good enough for 3 to 5 people, so I have taken ingredients quantity according to that,
And I made dry and little less spicy aloo paneer chana chaat recipe.

If you are a spicy lover, then take spices quantities according to your spice tolerance.
But
I suggest, snacks are good in less spice quantity only. And this is healthy chana chat recipe.
If you make it spicy, then it won’t be healthy for some people.
Tip number 5:-
For garnishing, I have use fresh finely chopped coriander leaves only, but if you wish,
Then you can add papdi or samosa, or any mixture also with coriander leaves as a garnishing.
It will give you little more crunchy chana chaat recipe.
Tip number 6:-
I have added direct paneer cubes in this chana chaat recipe without frying it or roasting it.
But if you want experiment with your style, dry adding fried paneer cubes in this aloo paneer chana chaat recipe.
But adding this paneer cubes if best and delicious.
Tip number 7:-
Do you know, chopping onions, tomatoes, cucumber, potato in same size, will give you the balanced taste, when you take a bite.
Yess this is also matters, see, if you cut potatoes in big cube sizes and when you eat it with a bite of chana chat,
Then you will get less spicy taste, same with onion, big size of onion cut piece will you little more spicy taste on onion.
So yess cutting vegetables in equal size also matters, when you take a bite.
