Samosa Chaat and other snacks

Well, I think snack is the wrong word to use because most of these are heavy and filling enough to be eaten as meals or hte main course.

I was never into the desi-snacks type stuff, pakoras, samosas etc… but these days for some reason I can’t get enough of samosa chaat (actually I can..but u know what I mean).

At home I usually mash a store bought samosa, add dhania, yogurt and shaan chaat masala/any masala and pakoriyaN. From the restaurant, they add the mashed up samosa, yogurt, plus hari mirch chutney, chanay, aloo-chanay ka masala, the red chutney, and pakoriyan… today i added namak paray to mine :halo:

What are some other desi type chaats/snacks?

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

ok now I want samosa chaat for iftar.. recipe please?

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

ok I can't post a new thread but i need the recipe for papri.. anyone please??? I want to make it for iftar tonite!!

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

Silly me bought namak paray thinking they were a substitute for papri chaat. :@:

My "recipe"? take some restaurant-bought samosas, mash em up, chop up some onions and dhania ifu have, pour yogurt over it and chaat masala/chana chaat masala/etc over it and voila. :)

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

oh really? no channa?
you think I can make papri with maida? like make a small roti of white flour and deep fry it?

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

I have no idea what papri is. :( but i want it anyway.

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

i love homemade samosa chaat, i make it almost everyday! :D

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

GTG, I have those mini samosas from the stores. I lightly break them, put some chana chaat on top, dahi wali chatni, green chatni, couple more lightly crumbled samosas, some onion, tomatoes, some crushed pita chips and chaat masala... yum yum! :D

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

oh I have those mini smaosas too.. I am so doing this and I just found this recipe too.. Samosa Chaat, Samosa chat, Pakistani sam | vahrehvah

what do you think?

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

ok sometimes I make chana that way but i do add imli paste in chana, makes it a khatta taste :D

I don't put samosas in the pan. i just break them in a plate, add chanay, dahi etc over it... but you can do that too...i guess it is all good! :D

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

ok I can't wait for iftar now.. my husband doesn't like chanay at all but I have convinced him that we need to eat this today.. thanks to sara :p

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

He can add his samosas to dahi baray and make dahi baray samaosa chaat :D

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

lol he can make his dahi bhallay himself.. I plan to make pakoray and samosa chaat only today.. he is making chicken and roti and if he wants, dahi bhallay :D

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

samosa chat...yummmmmmmmmmm now i want some too and its not even noon yet :(
i like to make it with fresh store bought samosa that are crispy.....add yogurt based coriander chutney, some yogurt with masala (salt, pepper, chat masala), imli chutney, papri or samosa dough crisps, and some cooked down channa curry.....and top it with finely shredded lettuce or mixed salad like cucumbers/crisp tomatoes...etc.....
sprinkle with whatever masala you like....usually just chat masala

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

why did i come to this thread? why oh why?

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

^ same here :bummer:

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

I had home made papri at someone's house last year. I believe they cut up a wheat tortilla in small pieces and then fried em if I remember correctly.

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

how come I couldn't find papri chaat in my desi store? :(

Gosh I could kill for some right now :D

Re: Samosa Chaat and other snacks

Yep, that's what i do if i can't be bothered making it from scratch, as we always have flour tortillas lying around.
