Peanut Chaat

🇮🇳 Indian

Boiled peanut chaat with onion and lime, bar counter's quiet star. Sweet, sour, spicy, crunchy and cold in the same mouthful — chaat logic. Eat at once — chaat has a five-minute window of glory.

  • Yogurt1 cup, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • Lemon1
  • Peanuts1/2 cup, roasted

  • Red Chili Powder1/2 tsp

Optional extras

Instructions

  1. 1

    Get the base ready — cooked, cooled and ideally at room temperature so the toppings sit proud.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Layer the cooked base, then drizzle the green and tamarind chutneys in crossing lines.

  4. 4

    Cover the base with yogurt and let it pool at the edges before the spice shower.

  5. 5

    Finish with the red onion, a final pinch of black salt and serve at once.

Chef's tip

Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
