Samosa Ghugni Chaat
Samosa Ghugni Chaat is the amalgamation of two street food stalwarts, Ghugni and Samosa. Sure, these two taste delicious individually. But the flavours are unmatched when they decide to collaborate together. Although Ghugni is a dish originating from Bengal, The Biharis have given it a modern twist and served it in the form of chaat. This popular street snack makes use of dry yellow peas (kabuli matar) for the preparation of Ghugni. It is generously seasoned with a variety of hot spices, all of which can be added according to taste. Adding onion (pyaaz) also amps up the crunch factor. The peas are boiled along with the spices until they turn tender. Be sure to check out the Samosa recipe on my website too. After preparing both the components, we deconstruct the samosa by breaking it into pieces, and pour the saucy ghugni all over it. To give the dish a more chaat-like feel, more elements like tamarind (imli) chutney and green (dhaniya) chutney can be drizzled on top of the samosa, accompanied with a garnish consisting of chopped onion and coriander leaves. So the next time you experiment with street food, be sure to try out this mouth-watering Samosa Ghugni Chaat. Because why compromise on taste, when you can get two for the price of one?
