This recipe of Banarasi Tomato Chaat is a traditional authentic recipe and I haven't done any variation to it. Traditionally, it is prepared without onion and garlic, and you can easily prepare it during festivals and fasting days. Even though you can top it with finely chopped onion if you like. In the traditional recipe, namakpare are used for topping but if you don't have access to namakpaare, sev or crushed chips can be used for crunchiness. For fasting days, you can top it with roasted peanuts or cashew nuts for crunchiness. In this recipe, you don't need any other chaat chutneys.
