Notes

Can this Chaat be made a day in advance?

Corn Masala Chaat comes together in minutes; therefore, I recommend preparing it fresh. But you sure can if you prefer to make it a day in advance.
I would opt out of adding lime juice, sev, papadis, and spices to the chaat and add it on the serving day.

How long does Corn Chaat stay good?

This chaat stays in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a day . After that, the added salt will release its water, and the chaat will lose its texture as the veggies will become all mushy and watery.
