Tomato, mango and burrata chaat

Gurdeep says: “This recipe is a remix of caprese salad with a chaat street-food twist. Mango complements the sweetness of tomatoes, and instead of a balsamic dressing, this has a tangy tamarind sauce. Replacing basil there’s a spice crunch and crispy curry leaves, contrasting with the creamy, oozy burrata. A heady mix of flavours that catapults you to the sunshine of Naples and Goa at the same time.”

Method

  1. Cut the tomatoes into 1cm slices and the mango into half moons (if it’s very ripe, you don’t need to peel it). Arrange on a serving platter, then sprinkle with the salt and amchoor. Set aside.
  2. Mix the tamarind, honey and Worcestershire sauce (or Henderson’s Relish for vegetarians) with a pinch of salt.
  3. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chilli, coriander, fennel and sesame seeds, fry for 1 minute, then add the curry leaves. Sizzle for 1 minute until fragrant and the leaves are beginning to crisp, then remove from the heat.
  4. Put the burrata in the centre of the serving dish and cut it open. Spoon over the spiced curry leaf oil, then drizzle over the tamarind sauce. Finish with sev and puffed rice.
