Notes

  • Do not over cook the beans in a pressure cooker for this Chaat recipe else they will turn out mushy.
  • If there is too much liquid in the boiled beans, transfer them to a metal colander, and remove the excess liquid.
  • You can boil the beans 1 - 2 days in advance and store in the fridge. 
  • Allow the beans to cool down completely before adding the vegetables and coriander so that the crunch and freshness of vegetables remain intact.
  • Adjust the salt to taste as while boiling beans also some amount of salt is added.
