Samosa Chaat is delicious Indian street food, spicy, tangy and sweet in the just-right proportions to suit your taste buds. Mashed samosa topped with peas or chole masala and topped with tangy chutneys, sev, onion and tomatoes if you wish.
I understand that many people do not know the meaning of the word Chaat! To Chaat is to lick and you lick your fingers as you eat a chaat! It is that delicious! A Chaat (Hindi: चाट) for the uninitiated is a savoury snack made from mainly tangy chutneys, crunchy onions and crisp sev among a million other ingredients custom-made to suit your tastes. Yummy!
Here are some of our favourite chaats S for S.P. or Sev Puri, Sprouts BhelPuri Recipe.
Samosa Chaat, Street food
As a part of Shhhh Secretly cooking we are this month exploring Haryana.
Haryana, famous as the land of rotis, the food here is fuss-free and made with the intention that the eater must relish every part of the food. The locals relish milk and milk products, as well as fresh vegetables. They also enjoy millet 😀
As Shhhh Secretly Cooking we are partnered with different members and then the partners exchange secret ingredients. You cook with these ingredients from the chosen cuisine. It is fun do join us.
I have chosen to make Samosa chaat as my dish, for Haryana but was reluctant to make it as both my daughters are not at home. However, as the post-by date for Shhhh Secretly Cooking approached I knew I had to move. Otherwise, I will be disappointing my lovely partner Vidya Narayan who has chosen to give me maida and dahi as my secret ingredients. Vidya has already posted her delicious, healthy version of Dahi Bhalla using dahi and urad dal that I gave her. Do check her place at Masala Chilli a place that is as warm and beautiful as the lady behind it for her food is simple yet yummy and most importantly healthy.
The serving I have given here is based on 3 people here who have to watch what they eat. I do not know how I served up but we finished 8 samosas between us in 2 days. Also, I used ready-made samosas but you can make them yourself from here.
