Bun Maska

🇮🇳 Indian

Irani-cafe bun with a snowfall of butter, dunked in chai. Bold, loud, sweet-hot-sour-tangy all at once — India's street food playbook. Best consumed within minutes — the crunch is the point.

Prep 24 min Cook 12 min Serves 2 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion1, finely chopped
  • Green Chili1-2, finely chopped
  • Lemon1
  • Pav Bread Rolls6
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Get the base going: crisp what should be crisp, soft what should be soft.

  3. 3

    Spoon over the chutneys and yogurt in wide ribbons across the whole surface, not the middle.

  4. 4

    Season aggressively — street vendors' hands are heavy with masala, and yours should be too.

  5. 5

    Garnish with the butter, a final dusting of chaat masala and serve within minutes, eating straight from the plate.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
