Known in India as dahi puri, these are the ultimate flavour grenade and our biggest seller by far at Mowgli. They have their own Twitter following and fan club. Introducing someone to their first chat bomb became something of a cult culinary practice in Liverpool. They are the fiddliest things on earth and only last about 5 minutes before turning limp and falling apart, so Mowgli has a dedicated chat chef who makes each one to order and sends them straight out.

This is the wrong recipe and wrong ingredients for yoghurt chaat bombs - there isn't even any yoghurt in these ones!
Hi Daniel - it's the correct recipe, honest! Feel free to check in a print copy of the cookbook, or ask at your local Mowgli Street Food. The yogurt in this dish comes in the form of the cumin raita. Did you try making them? They are quite tricky - as Nisha herself notes, "They are the fiddliest things on earth […] Indians do not make these at home and instead street vendors become dedicated puri makers, making nothing else."
This dish is an amazing dinner party offering. It is quite time consuming just before service but if you are prepping in a sociable place then it is worth the wait and the effort. My friends were calling for more. I just need to go to Mowgli to let someone else do the hard work.
