Samosa Chhole Chaat

Samosa Chhole Chaat is the ultimate chaat mashup — it takes two of India's most beloved street foods (the samosa and the chole) and unites them on a single plate. Crispy, golden samosas are broken open and smothered in a ladle of spiced chickpea curry (*chole*), then drizzled with cool yogurt, mint chutney, and sweet tamarind chutney, and finished with sev and cilantro. The samosa itself dates back to the 10th century, traveling to India from Central Asia via the Silk Road. The chole — a Punjabi chickpea curry simmered with tea-infused spices — brings warmth and depth. Together, they create a chaat that is heartier and more filling than most.

Chickpeas in the chole provide protein, fiber, and iron. Potatoes in the samosa offer potassium. The dish is vegetarian and more satiating than lighter chaats.
