Samosa Ragada

Whenever i go out i usually prefer eating chat as it really tastes good and especially when it is a rainy season having chat is a unique experience , but this time i wanted to try this at home as well and it tasted much more better than the chats served in bangalore. Though I had eaten it many times at roadside vendors, I had never attempted to prepare it at home until I came here. Since I dont like the chat served in bangalore so i thought of making it by myself . It was on one such rainy day that I made decided to make samosa chaat. I had Chickpeas, hence the twist in the tale is i didnt have samosas so i ended up using the ready made ones ,Chaat of any form amuses me a lot .My mouth is already watering while writing the recipe
