Now, pour Yogurt, Tamarind-Date Chutney, and Green Chutney.

Khatta meetha Samosa Chat/Chole Chat is ready to serve. Enjoy!!!

My take:

If you are making no onion - no garlic version then skip the addition of onion while serving ragda patties.
If you are making a vegan version then skip the addition of yogurt while serving samosa chat.
If you want ragda thicker, then you can add boiled and mashed potatoes.
I have served chole chaat with Air Fried Samosas.
