Spread the base out flat and drag both chutneys across it in ribbons.
4
Pour the yogurt over generously, then dust with chaat masala, roasted cumin and chili powder from a height.
5
Bury it under the yogurt, add the jewelled garnish, and get it to the table while everything still crackles.

Chef's tip

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