Fresh Green Chana Salad/Chaat

It is one of the fresh delicacies I enjoyed in my childhood. The fresh chana is only available during winter after January till march or say Holi. In Bihar/Jharkahnd we make chaat/salad, stir fried chaat, pakora (called bhabhara), halwa, Ghughani (Chana masala gravy) etc. It can either be eaten fresh or boiled or fried too. In Bangalore, it is really hard to get it easily available but somehow I got it and i was really happy even with limited quantity. But I was little indecisive about what to cook and what not to cook but finally, I decide to make something healthier out of it. so I have made Salad - fresh and tangy. My grandfather used to bring in a big lot during Shivratri and we all family member used to peel it for the delicacy for the next day when we used to relish after breaking day-long fast. And it used to start with fresh chana pakora which we call Bhabhara. Its really nostalgic and still I remember the smell of those...
