Kala Chana or Bengal Gram Chaat is a famous street food item found in Mumbai, India. Reliving my childhood memories, I decided to give this a try at home when I had some leftover boiled grams in the fridge. A great option for an evening snack, it is mainly a salad mix topped with chickpea sprinklers (Sev)
