Sprouted Chatpata Chana in Sev Katori Chaat

Hi friends!

I am sharing another version of katori chaat today but this time it is not using APF but I have used gram flour to make Sev in the form of katoris and then filled it with stuffing. I had seen the Sev form of Katori on TV and had loved the idea. So I just used the idea of katori and then concocted my own version.

This one katori chaat is very filling and can make a great evening snack for kids. Using sprouts to make the filling makes it healthy and an interesting way to eat. One can make fillings of their choice and come up with their own versions.

I always find Chaat an easy and interesting way to introduce veggies/sprouts into my younger one’s diet and the ‘Only’- Chaat event happening here has given me a good platform to try more. If you have not sent your entries please send it now as the event ends today.
