Ingredients

Yogurt1 cup, whisked
Saltto taste
Green Chili2
Peanuts1/2 cup, roasted
Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
Chaat Masala1 tsp
Red Chili Powder1/2 tsp
Mustard Oil1 tsp
Roasted Cumin1 tsp
Puffed Rice (Murmura)4 cups

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

1
Prep the crunchy and the soft components in separate bowls; assembly takes four minutes flat.
2
Beat the yogurt till pourable and gloss-free; lumpy yogurt ruins an otherwise perfect chaat.
3
Spread the base out flat and drag both chutneys across it in ribbons.
4
Flood the plate with yogurt, then season hard — masala from a height falls evenly.
5
Bury it under the peanuts, add the jewelled garnish, and get it to the table while everything still crackles.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
