For the Vegetable mix:

Now place the sliced tomato pieces in a plate and glaze the tomato with green chutney. 

Now sprinkle some chilli powder, salt and chaat masala. Now add the vegetable mix (Carrot, radish and cilantro)

Once you add the vegetable mix, add puffed rice mix. 

Make sure you add the puffed rice just before serving so that it doesn’t become soggy. 

Enjoy this yummy snack with a hot cup of tea and a good company 🙂

*Notes:

-You can use plain puffed rice instead of the mix but the mix makes a difference.

-Shredded radish is optional. if you like the rawness of radish then i would recommend you to use it.
