Locho

🇮🇳 Indian

Surat's glorious mess of a snack, locho with oil, sev and no apologies. Bold, loud, sweet-hot-sour-tangy all at once — India's street food playbook. Serve in paper plates for the full street experience.

Prep 17 min Cook 10 min Serves 2 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Onion1, finely chopped
  • Green Chili2
  • Lemon1
  • Peanuts1/2 cup, roasted
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp
  • Semolina (Rava)1 cup

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out everything mise-en-place: this is assembly food, and it moves fast once you start.

  2. 2

    Handle the cooked component with care; the contrast of textures is what makes street food sing.

  3. 3

    Layer on the wet elements — chutneys, yogurt, gravies — generously; restraint is for restaurants.

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    Finish with the semolina (rava), one last pinch of masala, and serve before the crunch softens.

Chef's tip

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