Moong Chaat Baskets

Chaat is always a favorite. Bhel, Sev Puri, Dahi Puri, Papdi chaat - they course the veins of foodie Indians. Here is one more of those. The very versatile chaat baskets. These tart like savory baskets are readily available in the market or you can use pani puri's as well to stuff the fillings.

The fillings can also be as per your taste. Here I have used cooked and seasoned sprouted moong but these would be great with kala chana, kabuli chana, moth or a combination of all. The filling is approximate at best. If you like onions more, add more of that, more sweet or spicy chutney also depends on your taste.

Ingredients:

12 baskets
4 tablespoons green chutney
4 tablespoons imli chutney / sweet chutney
4 tablespoons whisked curd (add salt per taste)
3/4 cup chopped tomatoes
3/4 cup moong sprouts (recipe below)
1 cup regular sev (I prefer Garden brand)
Salt
Bhuna Jeera (Roasted and powdered cumin seeds)
Chili powder

For sprouts:
1 teaspoon oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
Salt
3/4 cup moong sprouts

Put a spoonful of sprouts into the basket and top with a teaspoon of green and imli chutney. Next put the tomatoes and curd and sprinkle the salt, cumin and chili powder. Top with sev and serve immediately. Alternatively, you can mix the chutneys with the sprouts and then put it into the basket. 

Sprouts:

In a small pressure cooker, put a teaspoon of oil. Add cumin seeds and add the moong. Add some salt and pressure cook to one whistle. Let the cooker cool naturally and then use in the recipe.
