Samosa Chaat Recipe
Step 1: First, heat the samosas in an air fryer or oven for 2-3 minutes to crisp them back up. Place the hot samosas on a plate or serving platter and gently break each samosa into 2-3 pieces.
Step Two: Whisk the yogurt thoroughly and pour the chilled yogurt evenly over the samosas. Top the yogurt with a sweet and sour tamarind chutney. Then, drizzle with mint and coriander green chutney. Add finely chopped onions and tomatoes. Top with roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, and red chili peppers to taste.
Step Three: Finally, garnish the chaat with coriander leaves and pomegranate seeds. If desired, you can also sprinkle some sev on top. Serve the samosa chaat immediately, still hot. If you’re making it during the rainy season, enjoy it with ginger tea.
Tips to Make Perfect Samosa Chaat
- Heat the samosas just before making the chaat, this will keep them crispy for a longer time.
- Always use thick and chilled yogurt. This will make it taste even better with hot samosas.
- You can increase or decrease the quantity of sweet, sour and spicy chutney according to your taste.
- Prepare the chaat just before eating. Making the samosas in advance can make them soft and soggy.
