#CA26 - Falafel is a very popular Middle Eastern snack which is basically fried chick pea dumplings. So here is an yummy and a delicious chaat made out of some left over falafels. As it is well known chaat is a favorite street snack in almost all parts of India. So I made a falafel chaat in the same way as you would normally prepare any chaat.
It is a very simple recipe if you have all the ingredients before you. It just needs some assembling and voila, you have a healthy, nutritious and a wholesome chaat right in front of you. It can be enjoyed anytime of the day.
