The charm of Tihar has come to end and classes in Tribhuvan University have  began and when a foodie like me roam around the area ,the canteen area full of youth makes you feel  happy.The most interesting dish in canteen is Samosa chat with chole,I love the taste when the thin girl prepares so fast.I love samosas. I love chaat. I love samosa chaat. Chaats are savory  snacks, which means “to lick.” They are served pretty much at all roadside dhabas in . The taste of this dish seems like it should be a sin. Chole is topped with samosas, which are often times chopped up. The chole and samosas are then topped with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, yogurt, red chutney, green chutney, and fine sev. Believe me when I say that this is one of the tastiest things you will ever put in your mouth.I have been an observer of her routine work and note down the recipe.
