The Ultimate Street Food Dilemma: Khaste vs Samosa

Khaste vs Samosa: The Delicious Debate That Never Ends

Some decisions in life are hard. But none more mouthwatering than choosing between Khaste and Samosa.

Both iconic. Both irresistible. And both forever locked in a crispy, spicy battle.

What Makes Khaste So Special?

Khaste, with its flaky golden shell and savoury dry dal filling, is comfort food that knows how to surprise you.

My favourite way to eat it?

The Khaste Ritual

Break a hole in the centre, add a dollop of dry aloo, and drown it in both red and green chutneys—non-negotiable!

The texture? Like picking up a warm, crispy doughnut filled with spice. The taste? A firecracker of flavours in your mouth.

Why Samosa Still Rules the Streets

And then there’s the Samosa—hard shell, spicy potato goodness inside, and that slightly rebellious crunch when you crush it just right.

The Art of Crushing a Samosa

Hold it in your left hand, press with your right thumb, and flood it with chutney. Suddenly, it’s not just food.

It’s emotion. It’s street theatre. And it’s 100% delicious.

Sweet Ending: The Gujiya Connection

After that spicy rollercoaster, who else reaches for a Gujiya dripping with sugary syrup?

Because let’s be real—spice and sweet are the power couple of Indian snacking.
