Bun Maska
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.

Instructions
- 1
Lay out your stations like a busy stall: one for chopping, one for cooking, one for building.
- 2
Get the base going: crisp what should be crisp, soft what should be soft.
- 3
Spoon over the chutneys and yogurt in wide ribbons across the whole surface, not the middle.
- 4
Season aggressively — street vendors' hands are heavy with masala, and yours should be too.
- 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.
