Paneer Tikka Chaat
Crisp-fried paneer cubes in chaat masala, protein with street swagger. Yogurt-flooded, chutney-streaked and unapologetically messy. Perfect as an evening snack with masala chai nearby.

Get the base ready — cooked, cooled and ideally at room temperature so the toppings sit proud.
- 2
Whisk the yogurt smooth with a pinch of sugar and salt — it should pour slowly off the spoon.
- 3
Arrange the base on the plate and spoon the chutneys across — green for bite, tamarind for sweetness.

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

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