Tokri Chaat

🇮🇳 Indian

The edible fried basket chaat, structural engineering with chutney. Yogurt-flooded, chutney-streaked and unapologetically messy. Serve immediately with small plates and no judgement.

Prep 18 min Cook 6 min Serves 1 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
  • Mixed Vegetables2 cups, chopped
  • 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

    Sweeten and salt the whisked yogurt; street stalls lean sweeter than you'd think.

  3. 3

    Arrange the base on the plate and spoon the chutneys across — green for bite, tamarind for sweetness.

  4. 4

    Flood the plate with yogurt, then season hard — masala from a height falls evenly.

  5. 5

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

Chef's tip

Black salt and roasted cumin powder are the chaat backbone.
