🇮🇳 Indian

Flattened fried chickpeas tossed loud with masala, the timeless stall snack. Chaotic in the best way: every bite hits a different note. Eat immediately, standing up, ideally with friends.

Onion1, finely chopped
Green Chili1-2, finely chopped
Chickpeas1 cup, soaked overnight
Lemon1
Red Onion1, thinly sliced

Instructions

1
Set out everything mise-en-place: this is assembly food, and it moves fast once you start.
2
Cook the base element — boil, fry or toast it — till it is exactly right; texture is the whole story here.
3
Build the moisture layer: green chutney at the edges, sweet tamarind in crosses, yogurt last.
4
Dust the spices from a height so they fall evenly, then bury it under the crunch.
5
Garnish with the chaat masala, a final dusting of chaat masala and serve within minutes, eating straight from the plate.

Chef's tip

Black salt (kala namak) is the secret edge; seek it out.
