Chana Chat Tacos – Taco Desi-fied (aka Indianized) – Tacos with Indian Style Garbanzo beans, chutneys and a yogurt dressing

Chana Chat Tacos - Indian Food, Indian Street Food, Vegetarian, Indian Fusions Food - Cooking Curries

Its fall here but I still remember summer as if it was yesterday. Well, part of it must be because it has not gotten really cold yet, atleast for October. A good number of days during the week I am still able to walk out in a tee and be very comfortable. It does get a little chilly at night but again, it does not feel like November is almost here.

We had so many great hot days in summer that we put our deck to good use. For the most part of summer, we ate out on the deck for dinner and sometimes breakfast and lunch too. And on some particularly hot days when I did not feel like cooking a lot, I used to put together meals that involved very less or no cooking at all. This Chana Chat Tacos was that kind of a dinner. This is a no cook meal (assuming warming up tortillas don’t count as cooking) – just gather up all the toppings, assemble away and devour away.
