    About This Recipe

    Samosa Chaat is popular Indian street food (chaat recipe) where crispy warm samosa is topped with a spicy chole or ragda, chilled yogurt, and tangy chutneys.

    It is a very popular snack from North India which is tangy, spicy, and savory and the flavors burst in your mouth as soon as you take the first bite.

    Samosa Chaat Recipe is highly customizable, allowing you to adjust the chutneys and spices as per your liking.

    It can be enjoyed either warm or cold and makes for a great appetizer or snack any time of the day.

    Ingredients

    Samosa chaat ingredients 1
    Samosa chaat ingredients 2

    Samosa – I used my homemade Halwai style samosa recipe to make this chaat but if you are pressed with time, you can definitely buy the samosa. Frozen samosa also works great in this recipe.

    Ragda – You can choose between ragda or chole to top samosa chaat. Both of these taste good, it’s just about personal preference.

    You can also use your leftover chole curries such as Punjabi chole and Amritsari chole, to add to the chaat.

    Chutneys – Like any chaat, you will need coriander mint chutney and sweet tamarind chutney. These chutneys add a deliciously tangy, sweet, and spicy flavor to the chaat. You can also add a little garlic chutney if you like the chaat extra spicy.

    Yogurt – Plain yogurt is an important component of all the chaat recipes.

    Toppings – Top the samosa chaat with finely chopped green chilies, finely chopped onions, red chili powder, chaat masala, roasted cumin powder, and cilantro (coriander leaves). A sprinkling of some fine sev and pomegranate seeds also adds to the texture and taste.

    How To Make Samosa Chaat

    Preparation

    Make the samosa at home or buy them. You can also use frozen samosas. If making at home, you can fry them, bake them in the oven or air fry them You can also make the crust using whole wheat flour if looking for a healthier option. Try my samosa recipe to make it from scratch.

    To top the samosa, either make ragda or chole. You can make these 2-3 days in advance and refrigerate them. Try my ragda recipe or chole recipe to make this.

    Keep the coriander mint chutney and tamarind chutney ready. Coriander mint chutney keeps good in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and tamarind chutney for up to 3 months. So you can make these in advance accordingly.

    Whisk 1 cup plain yogurt with 1 tablespoon sugar.

    Gather the remaining ingredients.

    Note – The consistency of ragda, yogurt, and chutneys must be pourable. If they’re thick, then thin them down using water.

    Assemble The Chaat

    Crush one warm samosa on a serving plate. If the samosas are small, then crush two per plate.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use samosa other than aloo samosa to make samosa chaat?

    Yes, you can use any samosa to make this chaat. Some of my favorites to use in this recipe are gobi samosa, matar samosa, onion samosa, mushroom samosa, or even paneer samosa.

    This recipe also works great with chicken samosa or mutton keema samosa.

    How to make vegan samosa chaat?

    To make it vegan, you can either skip yogurt or use vegan yogurt instead of dairy yogurt.

    How to reheat samosa?

    To reheat your samosa, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the samosa on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Enjoy! You can also heat it in an air fryer at the same temperature.

    Serving Suggestions

    You can serve samosa chaat as a side dish to your festive meals or can serve it with other chaat recipes for your tea parties. It is a great party appetizer and is loved by all.

    I like to enjoy it during monsoon evenings with a hot cup of masala chai, adrak wali chai, or filter coffee.

    Storage Suggestions

    Samosa Chaat must be assembled just before serving, however, you can keep the different elements ready before time.

    Make the ragda or chole and store in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

    Coriander Mint Chutney can be refrigerated for 3-4 days while tamarind chutney can be refrigerated for up to 3 months.
