Bangalore masala puri, crushed papdi drowned in green-pea gravy. Sweet, sour, spicy, crunchy and cold in the same mouthful — chaat logic. Serve immediately with small plates and no judgement.

Prep 30 min Cook 17 min Serves 1 Medium

Ingredients

Yogurt1 cup, whisked
Saltto taste
Onion2, finely sliced
Lemon1
Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
Chaat Masala1 tsp
Red Chili Powder1/2 tsp
Roasted Cumin1 tsp
Yellow Split Peas1 cup

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

1
Boil, fry or toast the base component until the texture is right; cool what needs cooling so the yogurt doesn't slump.
2
Sweeten and salt the whisked yogurt; street stalls lean sweeter than you'd think.
3
Layer the cooked base, then drizzle the green and tamarind chutneys in crossing lines.
4
Flood the plate with yogurt, then season hard — masala from a height falls evenly.
5
Bury it under the chaat masala, 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.
