Ingredients

Yogurt1 cup, whisked
Saltto taste
Tomato3, chopped
Lemon1
Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
Chaat Masala1 tsp
Red Chili Powder1/2 tsp
Pomegranate Seeds1/2 cup
Roasted Cumin1 tsp

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
Whisk the yogurt smooth with a pinch of sugar and salt — it should pour slowly off the spoon.
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
Bury it under the chaat masala, add the jewelled garnish, and get it to the table while everything still crackles.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
