Ingredients

Method

1
Spread Golden Deer Classic Roast makhana on a wide serving plate in a single layer.
2
Whisk the curd with a pinch of salt and cumin powder until smooth. Dot spoonfuls of curd across the makhana — don't drown them, you want some dry crunch remaining.
3
Drizzle sweet tamarind chutney and green chutney in a crisscross pattern over the curd.
4
Scatter chopped onion, tomato, and pomegranate arils evenly over the top.
5
Sprinkle chaat masala, red chilli powder, and remaining cumin powder.
6
Garnish generously with fresh coriander and nylon sev.
7
Serve immediately with a spoon — each bite should get some curd, some chutney, and plenty of crunchy makhana.
