    oats chaat recipe (oats bhel) pin

    Oats chaat recipe or oats bhel recipe - A very healthy alternative to our traditional fried chaats like bhel puri, sev puri, Sukha bhel, dahi puri.

    2 plates of oats chaat with spoon.

    This one has all the chaat flavors, combination of all the taste, crunch, everything in it. You won’t miss the chaat feeling at all. Trust me.

    As you know that oats are rich in fiber and has many health benefits. You should include in your diet on regular basis.

    Recently, I have been using oats in Indian cooking rather than having them only in breakfast oatmeal.

    I got the idea of making this recipe from Nita Mehta's cookbook.

    As it is healthy recipe, it is good for your family and specially for kids who loves chatpata style street food.

    1) Dry roast the oats on medium heat till it is light brown and toasted. Remove it to a bowl or plate to cool completely.

    2) While it is cooling, mix yogurt and black salt. Keep it aside till needed. Also make green coriander chutney and tamarind date chutney. You can make both chutneys a day before.

    For a variation,

    • You can add or skip any veggies in the recipe. E.g. add onion, raw mango, capsicum, grated carrot.
    • Instead of chickpeas, you can add kala chana, sprouted green moong, lobia etc.
    • You can add roasted peanuts in it.

    Serving suggestion: enjoy as a snack whenever craving for any bhel, chaat item.

      Amazing recipe! Haven't made it yet, but I love the approach to this healthy chaat. A question I have is: do you know if cornflakes are a healthy component? What else could I replace it with for the crunch element that's healthy? Maybe some type of an air fried veggie, but not able to think what will go well. Thank you though 🙂5 stars

        I am not sure why cornflakes are not healthy.
        However, you can use murmura (puffed rice) and make something similar to bhel puri.
