Layered Crackers Canapés/Chats
About:
This is a quick snack which can be called as Chaat / Canapés. Chaat is an Indian snacks which has some crackers or puffed rice or fried noodles with beans/sprouts tossed with onions, tomatoes and different chutneys.
These are similar to canapés which are super quick to make. You can also do this with the ready made wafer canapés/salt biscuit/crackers too.
Homemade chutney, red onions, tomatoes, carrots and cilantro and crunchy crackers are probably the best way to eat them.
Serves-2-3
Preparation time-15 minutes
Ingredients:
- Layered crackers – 6 (I used home made crackers and link below)

Procedure:

I used home made Layered crackers:
- In a plate arrange 2 crackers; Spread Green chutney, tamarind chutney on each as per the sweet and spice preferred.
