This modern take on chaat features green peas, apples and avocado in a tamarind-honey dressing! Dressed up with puffed rice and pickled radishes, it’s a simple, classy dish to spice up your arsenal of appetizers!

After visiting Rooh Chicago and trying their Avocado and Green Pea Bhel, I was so excited to come home and make my own version of it! I added two types of apples for a break in texture and some sweetness, potatoes and green peas for body, and avocados for creaminess!

Toss all of that in a sweet, chatpata tamarind-honey dressing — garnished with puffed rice and radish — and you’ve got the perfect summer appetizer!
