Prep 26 min Cook 10 min Serves 2 Easy

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • Spinach300 g, chopped
  • Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Red Chili Powder1/2 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil, fry or toast the base component until the texture is right; cool what needs cooling so the yogurt doesn't slump.

  2. 2

    Whisk the yogurt smooth with a pinch of sugar and salt — it should pour slowly off the spoon.

  3. 3

    Spread the base out flat and drag both chutneys across it in ribbons.

  4. 4

    Pour the yogurt over generously, then dust with chaat masala, roasted cumin and chili powder from a height.

  5. 5

    Bury it under the gram flour, add the jewelled garnish, and get it to the table while everything still crackles.

Chef's tip

Whisk the yogurt with sugar; every great chaat walla does.
