Ghugni Chaat Toast
Bengali ghugni piled on toast, the college-canteen snack of Kolkata afternoons. Chaotic in the best way: every bite hits a different note. Serve in paper plates for the full street experience.
Ingredients
- Saltto taste
- Onion1, finely chopped

- Tamarind Paste2 tbsp

- Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Instructions
- 1
Prep the components first — chopped onions, chutneys, spice mixes in reach — because street food waits for nothing.
- 2
Get the base going: crisp what should be crisp, soft what should be soft.
- 3
Spoon over the chutneys and yogurt in wide ribbons across the whole surface, not the middle.
- 4
Shower with the dry elements: chaat masala, roasted cumin, chili, and the crunchy topping — do this at the last second so it stays loud.
- 5
Scatter the bread and cilantro, add one more drag of chutney, and put it in front of someone immediately.
Chef's tip
Assemble at the last possible second or the crunch dies.
