Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boxes frozen store-bought puff pastry (each box contains 2 sheets)
- 5 large boiled potatoes
- ¾ cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 3 tsp oil
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- ½ tsp fennel seeds
- ¼ tsp crushed coriander seeds
- ½ tsp red chili powder
- ½ tsp coriander-cumin powder
- ½ tsp amchur powder (dry mango powder)
- ½ tsp garam masala
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- Salt to taste
- ½ cup plain flour (for sprinkling)
- 1 tbsp flour + 3 tbsp water (to make a flour-water paste)
- ½ cup cilantro chutney
- ½ cup dates and tamarind chutney
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- ½ cup thin sev
Instructions
- Prepare the samosa masala: Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and crushed coriander seeds. Once fragrant, add boiled potatoes and green peas. Stir in red chili powder, coriander-cumin powder, amchur powder, garam masala, turmeric, and salt. Mix well and cook for a few minutes. Let cool.
- Prepare the puff pastry: Thaw pastry sheets as per package instructions. Sprinkle flour on a surface and roll out each sheet lightly. Cut into desired shapes.
- Fill and seal: Place a spoonful of samosa masala onto the pastry pieces. Seal the edges using the flour-water paste.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake puff pastries until golden and crisp, about 20–25 minutes.
- Assemble the chaat: Break baked pastries into pieces on a serving plate. Top with cilantro chutney, dates-tamarind chutney, chopped onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and sev.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- You can prepare the samosa masala ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days.
- Try adding pomegranate seeds for a pop of sweetness and color.
- For a spicier version, add green chili to the masala mix or drizzle spicy chutney while assembling.
- Serve the chaat immediately after assembling to maintain texture contrast.
