Tips:
- Adjust the salt & spice as per your taste.
- You can add any other fresh, raw veggies such as grated carrot, grated beetroot, finely chopped green cucumber, grated radish.

- I tried the same recipe without adding sweet date chutney, but the chaat tastes extremely great.
- if you have shelled peanuts, then boil them, deshell and use in the same recipe.
- Storage: I would suggest making this salad fresh as it stays good only up to a day.
