What Makes This Recipe So Good

Step 2
In a big bowl, combine the boiled chickpeas, potatoes, chopped tomato, onion, cabbage, and a sprinkle of chaat masala.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix yogurt with a little water until smooth, then add it to the main mixture as needed to get a nice creamy consistency.
Step 4
Blend together mint leaves, coriander, green chilies, lemon juice, salt, cumin seeds, and some water until you get a smooth, flavorful paste. Stir this into your main bowl.
Step 5
Give everything a good mix, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
