Mix well. ���Squeeze in lemon juice, toss again, taste, and adjust salt, chilli, or lemon. ��Serve immediately while warm so the flavours stay bright and the corn remains juicy. ��Tips for authentic flavourUse black salt and chaat masala generously; they give the typical “chaat shop” tang. ��Keep the tomato quantity a bit less than onion so the chaat does not become watery. ��For extra street-food touch, top with a handful of fine sev just before serving. ��
