How to Make Samosa Chaat with Cholay - A Mouthwatering Indian Street Food Recipe

Samosa chaat with cholay is a popular and delicious Indian street food. It's a combination of crispy samosas, spicy chickpeas, tangy chutneys, and yogurt that creates a mouthwatering explosion of flavors and textures.

To make samosa chaat with cholay, you'll need samosas, oil for frying, chickpeas, onion, tomato, green chili, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala powder, turmeric powder, salt, tamarind chutney, mint-coriander chutney, yogurt, and chopped onion and cilantro for garnish.

To start, make the cholay by heating oil in a pan and adding cumin seeds. Once they start spluttering, add finely chopped onion and green chili and cook until the onion turns golden brown. Then, add finely chopped tomatoes and cook until they are soft and mushy. Add coriander powder, garam masala powder, turmeric powder, and salt and mix well. Drain a can of chickpeas and add them to the pan. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes, adding water if required. The gravy should be thick.

While the cholay is cooking, fry samosas in oil until they are crispy and golden brown. Once the cholay is ready, assemble the chaat by breaking the samosas into bite-sized pieces and pouring the cholay over them. Add a dollop of yogurt on top of the cholay, then drizzle tamarind chutney and mint-coriander chutney over the yogurt. Finally, garnish with chopped onion and cilantro.
