11. Roasted Chana Chaat (Spiced Chickpea Snack)

Roasted chana chaat is an easy, high-fiber snack that’s satisfying and simple to make. Toss roasted chana with chopped tomatoes, onions, cucumber, coriander, lemon juice, and a pinch of chaat masala. The combination delivers crunch and tang while keeping carbs modest and fiber high. For store-bought roasted chana, check labels for added oils or salt. Portion control matters: a small bowl provides a filling snack without excess calories. Use this as a topper for salads or a side for tiffins to add substance. If you prefer fresh chickpeas, roast them lightly at home with cumin and chili powder for a crunchy alternative. This snack travels well and satisfies savory cravings that otherwise lead to sugary or fried options.
