High-Protein Makhana Chaat (5-Minute Recipe)

Ingredients Needed

• 2 cups Himalayan Pink Salt Makhana
• 1/2 cup finely chopped cucumbers
• 1/2 cup finely chopped tomatoes
• 1/4 cup boiled chickpeas (optional)
• 1/2 cup fresh Greek yogurt (whisked)
• 1 tbsp sweet tamarind chutney
• 1.5 tbsp green mint chutney
• 1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder
• 1 tbsp fresh pomegranate seeds
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Preparation steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Veggie Base: In a large glass mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, and boiled chickpeas.

2. 2

   Season the Yogurt: Drizzle the whisked Greek yogurt over the vegetable mix. Sprinkle with the roasted cumin powder and a touch of black salt if desired. Toss together gently.

3. 3

   Incorporate the Crunch: Right before you intend to serve the dish, toss in 2 cups of crunchy Himalayan Pink Salt Makhana. Tossing them too early will make them lose their crispness.

4. 4

   Layer the Chutneys: Drizzle the sweet tamarind chutney and spicy green mint chutney over the mixture.

5. 5

   Garnish & Enjoy: Garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds and chopped coriander leaves. Serve and consume immediately to enjoy the contrast of soft yogurt and crispy makhana crunch.
