Chef's Tips
The yogurt must be well-chilled for the best contrast with the spices.
Delhi-style chaat is more tamarind-forward than other regions — be generous with the chutney.
Eat within 2 minutes of assembly — the puri gets soggy quickly.
Adjust spice levels by controlling the amount of red chilli powder and green chutney.
