Legumes are, obviously, one of the most nutritious and versatile ingredients in the culinary world. Salads, curries, finger foods – there are plenty of ways to include them in your diet. How about incorporating them into a very popular Indian street food? – chaat. I think it’s the most delicious way to enjoy this nutritious black eyed pea or lobia. It’s super easy-to-make, healthy and most importantly, it’s the perfect snack with less than 200 calories in one serving. Such a perfect way to load up on nutrients without any guilt. Amazing, right? Apart from black eyed peas, I also used a wide variety of vegetables not only for adding up on the level of nutrition but to make this lobia chaat vibrant. I opted for cucumber, tomatoes and red onions which are the most commonly used chaat veggies. With the black eyed peas, you’ll need to soak them for about 4 hours prior to cooking them until tender. The extra flavors for this salad come from chaat masala and amchur powder. While chaat masala is a quintessential spice mix of Indian chaats, amchur powder or dry mango powder adds another level of deliciousness. What do you think about this super nutritious lobia chaat?
