  * 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.
