Ingredients

Yogurt1 cup, whisked
Saltto taste
Lemon1
Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
Red Onion1, thinly sliced
Chaat Masala1 tsp
Red Chili Powder1/2 tsp
Roasted Cumin1 tsp
Taro (Arbi)300 g, boiled and peeled

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
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
Top with the chaat masala, pomegranate seeds and fresh coriander; serve within five minutes, fork optional.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
