Masala chickpea fry

We have a craze and thats for chaats . Mom makes paani poori and all the sides to go for it. Actually my daughter zehna loves chaats  and so we all join in to make to my relief from having to make something for tea time. But normally i never have chaats just tea  and something light as in biscuits and occasional fries. But my kids and Aj are not too much into fried snacks but they would love some tummy filling variety once in a blue moon . But eventually the only thing I used to love is the homemade simple tea munchies. Though i love cooking to the core i do get lazy at times . And chai and kaddis (snacks ) in kerala is a soothing past time . My kids are the most hunger striken at this point of time . No five star hotel would have such kind orders as these three give me their own ways of having tea . Zamee would have a strong 'teabag' tea. Zehna goes for horlicks milk . Faizan loves Hershley milk ..but i dont give it to him everyday ... but he is my angel boy so i fall for all his demands .  So u see i have a hard time to meet all their damands. But chaats is  one  thing they all .... no ... we all have a common admiration to.
So went ahead and made this chaat .

We always have a frozen chickpeas and peas for the breakfast process to go easy .
So if  you freeze up boiled peas  its very likely you would end up making chaats quite often  . I love eating raw cooked chickpeas and when i had this chaat i just loved it . It is very spicy and strong tea is a perfect match.. Do try it out.
