Samosa Chaat is a popular Pakistani savoury snack in which flaky Punjabi Aloo Samosas are topped with ragda (a gravy made with chickpeas), yogurt sauce, and tangy spicy chutney. I never imagined aloo samosas could get any better until I had samosa chaat or what I like to call aloo samosa 2.0. Every spoonful of this chaat bursts with flavour. Sweet, tangy, spicy, and crunchy samosa chaat has it all.

To make Samosa Chaat you need five to six different components.

• Fried Aloo Samosa – Crispy hot samosa filled with a spiced potato filling are broken into 3-4 big chunks to make the base of this chaat.
• Chana Ragda – A thick gravy made of boiled white chickpeas and spices is ladled over samosas.
• Yogurt – A runny yogurt sauce seasoned with salt and sugar is poured over the Ragda layer.
• Green, Imli & Sweet Red Chutney – The chaat flavour is intensified by drizzling spicy, tangy, and sweet chutneys on top.
• Onions, Coriander and Pomegranate – You can also use chopped tomatoes, thinly shaved cabbage, sliced green chillies in this layer. I like to keep it simple and use thinly sliced onions, chopped coriander and pomegranate arils.
• Sev – topping your Samosa Chaat with sev is optional. I use it to add additional crunch. You can never have too much crunch in your samosa chaat.

You can use store bought aloo samosas, but I like making them at home using my simple Punjabi Aloo Samosa recipe. If you are making this recipe on a busy day you can make the chutneys a day ahead to save time.

If you have never had samosa chaat you HAVE to try it. Once you have all the components ready it is quite simple to assemble. This recipe makes 2 servings of samosa chaat. Let us get started!
