Samosas

Chana Masala

Chutneys and Yogurt Sauce

Method

Preparing the Samosas

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a firm yet pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, mix together the boiled and mashed potatoes, boiled green peas, cumin seeds, garam masala, chili powder, coriander powder, and chopped cilantro. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Roll and Shape the Samosas

    After the dough has rested, divide it into small balls. Roll each ball into thin circles (about 6 inches in diameter). Cut each circle in half, form a cone with one half, and seal the edges with water. Fill with the potato-pea mixture and seal the top.

  4. 4

    Fry the Samosas

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Carefully add the prepared samosas and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Preparing the Chana Masala

  1. 5

    Sauté the Onions

    In a skillet, heat a bit of oil and sauté the finely chopped onions until they turn translucent.

  2. 6

    Add Ginger-Garlic Paste

    Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a couple of minutes until fragrant.

  3. 7

    Cook the Tomatoes and Spices

    Add the chopped tomatoes, cumin powder, coriander powder, chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes are soft.

  4. 8

    Add Chickpeas and Water

    Mix in the chickpeas and add the water. Stir well, cover, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Finish by stirring in the garam masala.

Making Chutneys and Yogurt Sauce

  1. 9

    Prepare Mint Chutney

    In a blender, combine mint leaves, cilantro, green chili (if using), and a splash of water. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.

  2. 10

    Make Yogurt Sauce

    In a bowl, combine yogurt, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well until smooth.

Assembling the Samosa Chat

  1. 11

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a serving plate, break the fried samosas into bite-sized pieces. Spoon the chana masala over the top, followed by drizzles of mint chutney and yogurt sauce.

  2. 12

    Garnish

    Optional: garnish with additional chopped cilantro and a sprinkle of chaat masala if desired.
