          Roasted peanuts & cashews

          Red chile powder
          Sev *

 * small pieces of crunchy noodles made from chickpea
 flour paste, which are seasoned with turmeric, cayenne,
 and ajwain before being deep-fried in oil.

 Put each item in an individual bowl alongside a stack of
 larger bowls to enable your guests to mix up their chaat
 with a spoon or, more traditionally, their hands.

 As a starter suggestion for assembly: Begin with a
 crunchy base (crackers, bhel or murukku), add vegetables
 and fruits, then chutneys and raita, and finally lime
 juice, plus any combination of other toppings, such as
 chaat masala, red chile powder and sev. Improv and
 adjustments are encouraged.
