This is one of the simplest variations of the easy makhana chaat, with roasted makhana and fox nuts. It is light yet rich in nutrients. So, it can be enjoyed guilt-free yet so deliciously. The crunchy texture of makhana and tangy and spicy chutneys mixed with fresh vegetables create an explosion of flavours at each bite. This easy makhana chaat recipe starts with light roasting makhanas in a pan with a bit of ghee until crisp and golden. They are then kept aside until they cool. Meanwhile, you start making your toppings, chopping vegetables like cucumber, tomatoes, onions, and green chillies. Boiled potatoes may be added for a more filling chaat. Place the roasted makhanas in a bowl to assemble the easy makhana chaat. Top them with chopped vegetables and then chase them down with all the several chutneys - tamarind chutney and mint-coriander chutney - for the perfect sweetness, sourness, and hotness. Sprinkle some chaat masala, black salt, and cumin powder on top of it for zing. A handful of pomegranate seeds adds to the colour and freshness to it. This easy makhana chaat recipe is very versatile for use as one likes; the quantities of spice can be altered or sev, yoghurt, coriander leaves, and other ingredients added at will. It is a perfect munchie when a long-craved crunch, tang, and healthiness kicks in. Light, flavour, and quick making, easy makhana chaat will never fail to adorn any party!
