Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using raw cashews because they create such a creamy texture. You can adjust the spices based on your heat tolerance – I often throw in an extra chili if I'm feeling adventurous! If you can’t find chaat masala, a mix of cumin, coriander, and a pinch of garam masala works too.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my soaked cashews in an air-tight container in the fridge for a few days – perfect for impromptu snacking!
- •If you want a creamier texture, try blending in a bit of plant-based yogurt.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add diced mango for a sweet twist – it’s such a lovely contrast!
- •You can swap out the cashews for sunflower seeds if you’re looking for a nut-free option.
Storage & Freezing
If you have leftovers, store the Chaat mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just keep the sev separate until you're ready to serve to maintain its crunch!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can prep the veggies and cashew cream separately. Just mix them together right before serving to keep the crunch!
