Chukandar ka Chaat

🇮🇳 Indian

Beetroot chaat, ruby cubes with mint and lime. Sweet, sour, spicy, crunchy and cold in the same mouthful — chaat logic. Serve immediately with small plates and no judgement.

Prep 18 min Cook 9 min Serves 1 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt1 cup, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • Lemon1
  • Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Red Chili Powder1/2 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp
  • Beetroot2, grated

Optional extras

  • Mint Leaves1/4 cup
  • 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

    Beat the yogurt till pourable and gloss-free; lumpy yogurt ruins an otherwise perfect chaat.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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

Chef's tip

Pomegranate isn't decoration — the bursts of juice matter.
