ALOO PAPDI CHAAT

As any other chaat item this is also very easy to make and delicious to eat. The crisp mouth melting papdi (also called papri) pieces are combined with finely cut veggies, chaat chutneys and served with a dash of salt, pepper and chaat masala on the top. Papdi is like the thick crisp puri. Maida is combined with jeera and salt and made into a very stiff dough. Now the dough is rolled into small thick puries and deep fried. Well I will come with the papdi recipe in my coming posts. Here I have used the store bought papdi. Some chaatwalas break the papdi into small pieces and combine the pieces with veggies, while some others serve the whole papdies topped with veggies and chutneys. You can choose any way you like.
