Instructions

Set out everything mise-en-place: this is assembly food, and it moves fast once you start.
- 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
Dust the spices from a height so they fall evenly, then bury it under the crunch.
- 5
Finish with the bread, one last pinch of masala, and serve before the crunch softens.
Chef's tip
Black salt (kala namak) is the secret edge; seek it out.
