The Famous Kawardha Chana Samosa

In Kawardha, samosas are rarely eaten dry. At K.K. Restaurant, the dish is an art form:

• The Preparation: Golden, freshly fried spiced potato samosas are gently crushed into a bowl and ladled over with piping hot, slow-simmered dark chana (chickpea) curry seasoned with regional spices.
• The Garnishing: Topped with finely diced red onions, a drizzle of tangy imli (tamarind) chutney, green coriander-chilli relish, and a dusting of roasted cumin powder.
• Morning Accompaniments: Pair your Chana Samosa with hot spiral jalebis straight from the kadai and a cutting chai for the quintessential Kawardha morning experience.
• Chhattisgarhi Specials: During morning hours, you will also find traditional steamed rice flour Fara and Poha tossed with peanuts and mustard seeds.
