    Instructions
     

    Making Tamarind Sauce

    • To make Tamarind Sauce, begin by boiling ½ cup of tamarind in 2 cups of water until it becomes mushy. Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the mixture, keeping the tamarind water and discarding the pulp. Then, in a pan, briefly sizzle cumin seeds and chopped ginger. Stir in the reserved tamarind water, ½ cup of jaggery, a pinch of salt, and 1 tsp of chili powder. Allow it to boil until the sauce thickens and takes on a glossy appearance. For the complete method with step-by-step guidance, please refer to the detailed recipe of Tamarind Sauce.

    Making Green Sauce

    • To create the green dipping sauce, combine ½ cup each of fresh mint and coriander leaves, 1 tsp of roasted gram dal, 1 tsp each of chopped ginger and garlic, a pinch of salt, some amchur (dried mango) powder, chaat masala to taste, and a little water in a blender. Blend these ingredients until you achieve a smooth consistency.

    Making Mango Chutney

    • For Mango Chutney, heat ½ cup of mango puree and ½ cup of jaggery or brown sugar in a pan. Cook until the mixture thickens. Then, stir in ½ teaspoon each of chili and coriander powder and cook for an additional 2 to 5 minutes. Once done, turn off the heat and enjoy this delightful sauce with your chosen snacks.

    Making Chili Garlic Chutney

    • For the Chili Garlic Sauce, begin by soaking 15 to 20 dried red chilies in hot water for 3 hours after deseeding them. Drain and blend the chilies into a puree. In a pan over medium heat, add oil, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, and the chili puree. Sauté until the oil begins to separate. Then, stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar or brown sugar until well combined. Your spicy chili garlic sauce is now ready to accompany your samosas.

    Making Yogurt Dip

    • To prepare the Yogurt Dip, crush 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and 3 tablespoons of fresh mint leaves using a mortar and pestle. Then, combine the crushed mixture with ½ cup of yogurt, add salt to taste, and stir until everything is well incorporated. Your flavorful yogurt dip is now ready to be served with samosas or your snack of choice.

    Serving Suggestions

    • These versatile sauces are not just for samosas; they elevate any snack to a gourmet level. Try them with crispy pakoras or crunchy bhajis for a burst of flavor.
    • For those craving an extra kick, transform your samosas into delicious Samosa Chaat by drizzling these sauces generously over the top, adding yogurt, chopped onions, and a sprinkle of chaat masala for an explosion of taste and texture.

    Storage Suggestions

    When it comes to storing your precious sauces:

    • Tamarind, Mango, and Chili Garlic Sauces: These sauces can last for up to three weeks when stored in airtight containers in the fridge. Their flavors deepen over time, making them even more delicious with each passing day.
    • Green and Yogurt Sauces: As these sauces are uncooked, it's best to enjoy them fresh within a day. Store them in sealed containers in the fridge to preserve their vibrant colors and flavors.
