channa chaat(chickpea salad) with sweet date chutney


I am making sprouts these days for breakfast atleast 4 times a week. First I started out with simple mixing of sprouts, onion, tomatoes, chaat masala, salt and coriander leaves. Then the taste became a bit monotonous, so started looking for some variety. Came across this recipe for sweet chutney in Tarla Dalal's "fun food for kids" cookbook. Adding this chutney to the sprouts gave it a tangy and sweet taste which we just relished.
As we do not like to eat the sprouts uncooked, I generally pressure cook it without adding any water and switch off the stove immediately after one whistle. To make the sprouts, I soak the bean overnight. The next day, I tie them in a cloth for a day or 2. (depending upon the type of bean). Once I get the sprouts, I either use it right away or refrigerate for a later use.

Here are the recipes for channa chat and sweet chutney
Ingredients to make channa chat that servers 4 adults for breakfast 

Channa/chickpeas sprouts: 2 cups(Any other sprout can be used) Onion: 2 medium sized, chopped Tomato: 3 medium size, chopped into small pieces Sweet chutney: 1/2 cup(recipe is below) Chaat masala: 1 tsp(I did not have this, so I added black salt) Salt to taste Coriander for garnishing
Procedure

1. Mix all the ingredients and serve. For this recipe, I did not add onions, even then it tasted too good. I am just loving this sweet chutney.

  6. The sprouted channa inspires me to make some as a salad. They sell dates paste in our middle eastern store and it makes it so easy to make the sweet chutney. Will use the date paste and follow your recipe. Thanks for sharing.

  18. chaat and chutney look awesome. It is breakfast time here and I am feeling like eating that. To answer your question, you can use whole wheat flour and all purpose flour in a combination or just use whole wheat flour. If you can't get vital wheat gluten, just use whole wheat flour and knead it for couple more minutes longer than what the recipe calls for. It will be fine. Kneading increases the gluten in the bread which is achieved very easily by adding vital wheat gluten. Hope this helps.

  19. Chutney looks good. I still have this in my draft and no pictures to go with it.
    I will post the coconut cake recipe soon. This one is almost a vegan cake if not for the glaze. I can think of a way to make a vanilla cake using oil which is vegan. But do you get applesauce in India or do you have to make it yourself? I know of a recipe that I can tweak to make a vegan vanilla cake but that uses applesauce.
