Oats Chaat

Oats chaat has been in my mind forever, but haven't been able to make it. When I was wondering what to make for my older one's after school snack, I thought I would take the risk of making this chaat. I wasn't sure she would like it but had a hunch that since it has the typical chaat flavors, she might like it. 

She pulled a face at me when I told her about the chaat waiting for her on the table. She gingerly took a spoon full of the chaat and went 'yummm' and finished off the whole bowl. Happy mom and daughter!!

So check it out for Day 2 Week 4 of BM #48.
