Chennai beach sundal, chickpeas with coconut and raw mango sourness. The flavours of an Indian market at dusk, built on a plate. Eat immediately, standing up, ideally with friends.

Instructions

1
Lay out your stations like a busy stall: one for chopping, one for cooking, one for building.
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
Shower with the dry elements: chaat masala, roasted cumin, chili, and the crunchy topping — do this at the last second so it stays loud.
5
Finish with the grated coconut, one last pinch of masala, and serve before the crunch softens.

Chef's tip

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