Hipsters rub shoulders with gray-bearded cabbies at Punjabi Grocery & Deli in the East Village. The chaats here—Indian fried snacks tossed with an addictive combination of sauces—are the real deal. My favorite is the hearty two samosas and chickpeas chaat. More a meal than a snack, it tops crisp, potato-stuffed samosas, split open and doused in spicy stewed chickpeas, with zesty extras such as tangy yogurt, sweet tamarind-date chutney, spicy cilantro chutney, and chopped raw onion. Wash it all down with a cup of doodh patti (a richer version of masala chai, brewed in milk).
