Yogurt Sauce
- Beat the yogurt with a fork till you have a smooth creamy mixture. (see notes)
- Mix in the salt and chaat masala and mix some more.
Pickled Red Onion

Green Chutney
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor and grind until you have a smooth chutney.
Notes
- Pickled red onion - I usually have a batch in my fridge at all times and love the taste of these versus plain fresh onions. You can find pickled onions in most grocery stores if you don't want to make your own or stick to freshly sliced onions if that's easier.
- Yogurt sauce - The yogurt sauce should have a pouring consistency and plain full-fat yogurt has the perfect consistency for this. If you find that you need to thin the yogurt a little after you've beaten it, just add a tablespoon or two of plain milk.
- Tamarind chutney - You can make your batch of tamarind dipping sauce for this recipe or use a store-bought tamarind sauce.
- Sev - This is available at all South Asian stores and on Amazon. However, you can use any savory crunchy snack in place of this. Spicy chili chips would work great as an example.
- Cilantro - Make the chutney with 2 packed cups of cilantro for ideal results.
- Lime juice - Usually, the juice of 1 lime is sufficient liquid for the chutney. If you feel you need more, feel free to add some. Make sure to adjust the spices accordingly, so the taste is balanced.
- Pomegranate seeds - While these look beautiful and add the perfect taste to the chaat, they are not always available. I have used both mangoes and grapes in the past in my chaat recipes and they both taste wonderful.
