I love finger food type of foods for appetizers this holiday season. Also I’m currently vibing with apps that involves no cooking. This check marks both!! This chaat basket will satisfy all your taste buds, its spicy, tangy, and a little sweet. You get the tartness from the pomegranates and its crunchy from the chaana dal and the chaat basket. This is an easy appetizer that comes together in just 10 minutes. You can prep everything ahead of time, I would suggest mixing everything right before serving to prevent from getting soggy. Hope you enjoy this easy yet super fancy looking appetizer.
Stay happy, stay hungry!
| Prep time: 10 minutes | Makes: 15 baskets |
Ingredients:

Squeeze a little lime on top (if using) and mix well.
- Fill the chaat baskets with the chaat mixture, top it with the fine sev (if using).

Notes:
- For my sweet red chutney I use apple butter sauce . I simply thin it out with water and add red chili powder, cumin coriander powder, and salt to taste.
- I got the chaat baskets, the namkeen chaana dal, and the fine sev from patel brothers. Can be found at any Indian grocery store.
- I also boil my potato in the microwave to make things even easier.

Where can you buy the chaat baskets?
I buy them from my local Patel brothers. You can use phyllo baskets if you can’t find the chaat basket
