Dahi Samosa Chat Recipe | Step by Step Recipe

Third of the blogging marathon saw me planning to do another chat dish this time more interesting as I love Samosas. I had been planning to bake a samosa for a long time but never came around doing that. Getting back home, feeding the kids I decided I ought to do it right away. Unlike yesterday boys decided that I wasn't going to make any chocolates so they were playing together not bothering me.

I made the dough such that it might get baked but unfortunately it didn't have enough leavening for it to get baked as proper one. So ended up deep frying the Samosa for the chat.

And I also ensured I kept the Chat Masala ready at hand not to forget in the final assembling. Hubby dear was most curious getting back from work seeing me busy doing something. He asked if everyday was going to be a chat day. Nodding my head I offered him a plate of Dahi Samoda Chat and before he could even swallow wanted to his verdict.

I could gauge from his looks that this passed his approval. But wanted verbal confirmation. He said today's chat really tasted like the chat walas. Yes that dash of Chat Masala ensured it give its taste!

Konda loved it and saying she was enjoying the daily dose of Chats and wanted more, while boys were more than happy to finish off the sev they finally discovered the day.
