Healthy Evening Snack - Healthy Chaat Variety - Avacado Corn Chaat


Got some fresh avocados this week and decided to utilise those before they get too mashy. As its an evening time, I made a chaat variety using the fresh avocados. It was very tasty, healthy and got over very quickly.  This chaat variety is also simpler, easier to make using fresh ingredients and a healthy choice with a cup of hot tea. As Avocados are highly nutritious and have numerous health benefits, its wiser to include them in our regular food items as much as possible. As Spring and Summer are going to visit soon, make this yummy chaat in one of your outdoor parties and enjoy...
Ingredients
Fresh Avocados - 3 Big
Sweet corn - 1/2 cup
Red Onion - 1 cup ( finely shredded or cut )
Tomato - 2 Medium ( cut into small cubes )
Roasted Groundnuts / Peanuts  - 1/2 cup
Green Chilli Paste - 1 tsp
Coriander Leaves - To Garnish ( I add generally 2 to 3 tbsp of shredded coriander leaves on top )
Lemon Juice - 1 tbsp
Salt - To Taste
Chaat masala powder - 1 tsp
Method
  • Cut all the vegetables as desired. In a mixing bowl / vessel, add all the cut vegetables and other ingredients as mentioned above EXCEPT avocado. Mix them uniformly in all directions. Finally, just before serving add the fresh avocado pieces and mix them slightly.
  • On a serving plate, put 3 servings of the Avocado chaat in each plate and garnish with coriander leaves  and serve.
  • With a side of garam chai / hot tea, a healthy evening snack is going to satisfy your taste buds for sure.
Tips / Variations
If you have some boiled chickpeas / vella kondakadalai, you can add them in place of roasted peanuts/ groundnuts.
If you dont like sweet corns in your chaat, you can omit them too and substitute with tiny pieces of green capsicum / green pepper.
