Notes
- Chaat masala: This is a South Asian spice blend used in snacks. It has a tangy and spicy taste and a pungent odor. You can source this from your local Pakistani or Indian store or Amazon.
- Spicy boondi mix: These spicy fried chickpea puffs are available at all South Asian stores or on Amazon. They add texture to the watermelon chaat, and I highly recommend them for this recipe.
- Chopping the watermelon: Cut the watermelon into 1-inch cubes for best results. This allows for better distribution of the spices and tamarind chutney, as well as making the chaat easier to eat.
