Bun Maska Irani Style

🇮🇳 Indian

Irani-café bun split and lacquered with butter, built for dipping in milky chai. Bold, loud, sweet-hot-sour-tangy all at once — India's street food playbook. Eat immediately, standing up, ideally with friends.

Prep 16 min Cook 11 min Serves 1 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion1, finely chopped
  • Green Chili1-2, finely chopped
  • Lemon1
  • Milk1 litre
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp
  • Bread4 slices
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Lay out your stations like a busy stall: one for chopping, one for cooking, one for building.

  2. 2

    Handle the cooked component with care; the contrast of textures is what makes street food sing.

  3. 3

    Build the moisture layer: green chutney at the edges, sweet tamarind in crosses, yogurt last.

  4. 4

    Dust the spices from a height so they fall evenly, then bury it under the crunch.

  5. 5

    Scatter the butter and cilantro, add one more drag of chutney, and put it in front of someone immediately.

Chef's tip

Taste the layers as you build — every bite should surprise.
