Known as moong ki chat, this very popular salad is eaten as a road-side snack in India, especially in Delhi. The chili, lemon, and tongue-tingling spice combination chat masala give it a pleasant bite. Home sprouted mung beans taste best.

Serves six.

• 1 small green chili, minced fine
• 1 tablespoon coriander leaves, chopped fine
• 250g (9 ounces) sprouted mung beans, about 1¾ cups – tender ones with tiny sprouts about 1.5cm (½-inch) are best

• 1 teaspoon salt

Boil the potato until tender, peel and dice it.

Combine all the ingredients.
