Ingredients

Yogurt2 cups, whisked
Saltto taste
Rice3/4 cup
Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
Chaat Masala1 tsp
Red Chili Powder1/2 tsp
Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped
Pomegranate Seeds1/2 cup

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
Beat the yogurt till pourable and gloss-free; lumpy yogurt ruins an otherwise perfect chaat.
3
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
Top with the yogurt, pomegranate seeds and fresh coriander; serve within five minutes, fork optional.

Chef's tip

Whisk the yogurt with sugar; every great chaat walla does.
