Blistering vegetables, hard chars, sprays of lime and a dusting of spice, amidst thick smoke. Chaat carts line the streets of Bombay, nourishing passersby with simple, delicious and cheap sustenance. Embers glow. Tastebuds ignite.
Originally a gift from the North, chaat has found a beloved home in Bombay and thrives on resourcefulness; Chaat-wallas roast everything from vegetables to fruit – watermelon, apple and sweet potato are much-loved.
Our Tandoori Chaat is very much inspired by this – pineapple, sweet potato and padrón peppers are charred, limed, dusted and sparked to life. All-new and all-perky for trying! Either at home or in any Dishoom as part of the new menu.
