Notes

You may swap in Bombay mix for fine sev. 
Each 400gms tin yields approximately 240gms of chickpeas when drained. 
Assemble this easy no-cook Indian snack just before you serve as vegetables tend to release moisture and sev could go soggy. 
It is not necessary to follow exact measurements for chaats. Consider adding chutney, spices and vegetables as much as you wish to suit your taste.
