Notes & Tips
- Spices & Salt: Adjust the salt and green chillies as per your taste preferences. You can also sprinkle red chilli powder for more spicy taste. Optionally, roasted very fine cumin powder can also be sprinkled.
- Adding Chaat Masala: Chaat masala can be added, but it will suppress the original taste of the veggies and make the taste of the chaat masala dominating.
- Serving Tip: Serve immediately Masala Papad, otherwise it will be soggy.
