Samosa Chaat
I love a Samosa Chaat. I love all chaats to be honest. I think it is the perfect party food/dish for when friends pop in/for a gathering.
In this recipe, crispy flaky Samosas and Chickpeas are topped with tangy and spicy chutneys/sauces to creating a delicious explosion of flavours.
Ingredients
Here is what you will need:
Samosas – You can make your own or buy them. You can use veggie or meat samosas.
Chickpeas – I use leftover Chickpea Curry from this recipe or any Chana Masala.
Sauces – I make a Mint and Coriander Chutney and use Tamarind Paste, Date Syrup and Yoghurt. To me, this is the perfect balance of sweet, sour, tangy and goes well with the salty flavours of the dish.
Toppings – I use some of the following – Pomegranate, Fine Sev, Chaat Masala, Coriander Leaves, chopped Red Onions.
How to make Samosa Chaat
Fry Samosas if you haven’t brought them pre fried. Place on a plate and lightly crush or break apart.
Add a ladleful of Chickpeas. Or do it the other way round if you prefer!
Drizzle over Chutneys, Sauces and Yogurt.
Sprinkle over Sev, Pomegranate if using, Coriander and any other toppings you like.
Storage Suggestions
You can make all the separate elements and store them separately but once the Samosa Chaat is made, it is best to consume it immediately. I
Serving Suggestions
This is best served with Best Chai Tea.
