The weather is finally transitioning into fall and each morning is a little crisper than the last. With this and some other lifestyle changes, I am craving earthier and warmer foods.

As usual, I did not follow any recipe or ingredients list, but rather threw stuff together that sort of made sense and hoped for the best.

I wondered how I could incorporate indian flavors into a salad of some kind and I immediately thought of a common appetizer called "chaat." It's a mix of tomatoes, onions, chickpeas and potato with yogurt and spices that's often found at street-side vendor carts in busy metropolitans like Chennai and Bombay as a quick snack on the go. I decided to recreate this as a salad that would pack in loads of fresh veg but provide that spicy zing that my brown-ness requires.

*Be forewarned that while all the fresh ingredients can be found at any grocery store, you will need to procure some special Indian spices either from a local Indian store or Amazon (I'll be sure to include links).
