One of India’s most popular street foods, the Samosa Chaat is also quite simple to make at home. The dish has contrasting textures - crisp exterior, soft interiors and an explosion of flavours that come from the chutneys.
4-5 medium-sized samosas 1 cup boiled chickpeas (chole) or boiled potatoes 1/2 cup onions 1/2 cup tomatoes 1/2 cup coriander leaves 1/2 cup plain yoghurt
1/2 cup tamarind chutney 1/2 cup green chutney 1/2 tsp chaat masala 1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder 1/2 tsp red chilli powder 1/2 cup sev
Soak tamarind in warm water for about 15 minutes, then squeeze out the pulp. Cook with jaggery, salt, and a pinch of chilli powder until thickened.
Blend fresh coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, garlic, lemon juice, and salt into a smooth paste.
Whisk the yoghurt. Place the samosas on a serving plate and lightly crush them with your hands to break them into large chunks.
Top the crushed samosas with boiled chickpeas or boiled potatoes. Add chopped onions and tomatoes.
Drizzle tamarind chutney and green chutney over the samosa mixture. Pour the whisked yoghurt over the top. Sprinkle chaat masala, roasted cumin powder, red chilli powder, and salt . Add sev and garnish with coriander leaves.
