Chatpata Chana Dip

By , About.com Guide

This yummy dip can also be served as a chutney! It is an Indian take on Middle Eastern Hummus. Serve Chatpata Chana Dip with potato chips, Chapati crispies, poppadums or Bhakri.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup boiled chickpeas/ 1 can chickpeas (drained and rinsed thoroughly)
  • 1 large tomato choppped very fine
  • 1 medium onion chopped very fine
  • Red chilli flakes to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp mustard oil/ eatra virgin olive oil (as preferred)
  • Juice of 1/2 a lime or lemon

Preparation:

  • Mash the chickpeas coarsely (the result should be mostly smooth with some chunky bits).
  • Add all the other ingredients and blend.
  • Chill and serve with chips or dippers of your choice. Some of my personal favorites are poppadums, Chapati crispies, Bhakri or bits of Naan.
