Chat/Chatpati spice mix is a mix of hot and tangy spices that can be used to spice up snack, salads, fruit salads and even curries.
In Bangladesh, chat mix is used heavily in the food served by street vendors – the ubiquitous fuchka and chatpati vans that one everywhere.

While in India, the word for for savory fried dough with spicy filling (meat or vegetarian) is samosa, in Bangladesh we have two words – shingara if the dough is flaky and samosa if the dough is crispy. In Bangladesh, we will generally use meat (beef or chicken liver) as a main ingredient.
