To make samosa:
- Cube potatoes and onion. Drain chickpeas and set aside.
- Heat the pan with vegetable oil, add coriander seeds, black mustard seeds, fry on a medium flame till the aroma comes out.
- Now add chopped onions, garlic, turmeric, Kashmiri chilli powder and 1 tsp salt. Fry on medium heat for a couple of minutes.
- Add chickpeas and potatoes and cook for a few minutes.
- Garnish with coriander. Transfer to a bowl.
- For the samosa, cut your filo pastry into three strips.
- Place 1 tablespoon of filling in one corner of pastry, leaving a slight border. Don’t overfill triangles or they will split.
- Gently lift pastry corner with filling and fold tightly diagonally to create a triangle (take care not to tear pastry). Continue folding, retaining triangle shape and seal by brushing the beaten egg.
- Fry the samosas for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
To make chatt
- Finely chop all the vegetables.
- In a bowl mix lemon juice, oli and chat masala. Then mix it with chopped vegetables. Set aside
- Chop fried samosas and add them to the mix.
- Garnish with pomegranate. You could also optionally serve with some yoghurt and top with more chaat masala spice.
Chef’s recommendation : Decore cucumber and tomatoes to prevent chaat from getting soggy.
