Ingredients

  • 3-4 cooked samosas.
  • 14-15 ounces canned garbanzo beans/ chickpeas. Drain and discard the water.
  • 1 small brown onion.
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil.
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger garlic.
  • ½ teaspoon coriander powder.
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder.
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder.
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili powder.
  • ⅓ teaspoon salt or according to taste.
  • 2 small tomatoes chopped.
  • ⅓ cup water.
  • ¾-1 cup mint yogurt chutney.
  • ½-⅔ cup imli sauce/ tamarind sauce.
  • A handful of crispy fine Sev or crushed Papdi.
  • pomegranate seeds optional.
  • cilantro leaves chopped (optional).

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel, chop, and fry the onion in 2 tablespoons of oil.
  2. When the onion becomes light golden in color, add the ginger garlic paste
  3. Then add the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, ground black pepper, red chili powder, and salt. Continue cooking until the spices release an aroma.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes and ⅓ cup of water. Let it cook until the tomatoes are softened.
  5. Next, add the garbanzo beans/ chickpeas and give it a stir. Put the lid on and leave it to cook at medium-low heat until the beans are softened. It takes approximately 5-7 minutes, or longer if you prefer your beans to be softer. And add more water if you find the curry is too dry or if you prefer to have a bit of gravy.
  6. To assemble, break or smash the samosas and place them on a serving dish.
  7. Spoon the cooked garbanzo beans over the samosas.
  8. Dollop the mint yogurt chutney onto the samosas and the beans.
  9. Then drizzle the imli sauce/ tamarind sauce over the samosa chaat.
  10. Lastly, sprinkle some fine Sev or crushed Papdi, some pomegranate seeds, and chopped cilantro (coriander leaves).

Notes

  • You can use it with vegetarian samosas or meat samosas. The number of samosas in this recipe is based on the slightly large-sized samosas. Feel free to add more samosas if it’s needed.
  • If you don’t have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes. ½ cup of canned tomatoes is enough for this recipe.
  • As for the chili powder, I use Kashmiri red chili powder more often than not. You can use ordinary red chili pepper powder or even cayenne powder. If you like the garbanzo beans to be spicier, just add more chili powder than the suggested recipe.
