Black chickpea chaat..

This chaat reminds me of an amazing experience at Manali. When we were on the way to Rohtang pass, there was a huge traffic Jam. Amongst all chaos and confusion, a vendor passed by with hot and boiled channa. All of us hogged on to his stand and had about 2-3 bowls of this awesome chaat!! I like this chaat very much, and thus wanted to share it with all .!!


 One can have this chaat for breakfast, tea time snack or even as a light healthy dinner!! Made with black chickpeas and flavoured with chaat masala and lemon juice this is a must try thing!!

Ingredients:
1 cup black chickpea(kaala channa)
1 medium onion (nicely cut into small pieces)
