Canapes3

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.
