Spicy Chickpea Salad (Chana Chaat)

"Pakistani Spicy Chickpea Salad or Chana Chaat as it is called, is allergy friendly and delicious. Usually served along with tea as a tea snack. It can also be served as a side with dinner or eaten all on its own. There are a lot of variations to this dish but as usual I have adapted it to our allergic requirements. This dish requires minimum cooking and comes together in less than an hour. The two ingredients that are crucial to this dish are Chaat Masala and tamarind pulp or Imli as it is called. These two ingredients make a world of difference on how your salad will taste. You can make both at home or use store bought. In this recipe I use store bought. Both of these are available at any Indian stores or in the international section of the grocery stores."
