Instructions

1. 1

   Lay out your stations like a busy stall: one for chopping, one for cooking, one for building.

2. 2

   Cook the base element — boil, fry or toast it — till it is exactly right; texture is the whole story here.

3. 3

   Build the moisture layer: green chutney at the edges, sweet tamarind in crosses, yogurt last.

4. 4

   Shower with the dry elements: chaat masala, roasted cumin, chili, and the crunchy topping — do this at the last second so it stays loud.

5. 5

   Scatter the potato and cilantro, add one more drag of chutney, and put it in front of someone immediately.
