Samosa Chaat is a classic Indian street food typically consumed as an evening snack. Cooked samosas are crumbled and mixed with chickpeas, spices, assortment of chutneys, garnished with coriander leaves, sev and pomegranate seeds.
It is a delicious and lip-smacking dish that is very popular in North India.
Making this Samosa Chaat at home is not difficult. All you need is couple of samosas, chole/chickpeas and few other ingredients that are available in most major supermarkets these days.
For those who like to do things from scratch, you can make the samosas from scratch home along with the delicious chole.
However, if you want to speed things up, buy samosas from one of the several restaurants nearby (via swiggy or zomato) and use this recipe of Amritsari Chole. Garnish as desired.
