Pune Bhakarwadi
Pune's spiral bhakarwadi, sweet-spicy filling in a fried coil. The flavours of an Indian market at dusk, built on a plate. Best consumed within minutes — the crunch is the point.

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