Posted by Papdis are deep fried and crisp small pooris which are a Star ingredient in the most popular version of Chaat “Papdi Chaat”. We all know India is a land of tongue tickling street foods. And out all other street foods, chaat is my favorite, Papdi Chaat.Papdis add crunch to the chaat.
Papdis are made with all-purpose flour, carom seeds, ghee/oil and salt. Mix all these ingredients and knead a soft dough and roll like a roti, little thick than a normal roti and shape them into small poori or any other shape you like and then deep fry them. Simple, Papdis are ready.
You can make enough batch of papdis and store them in an air tight container and use them whenever you want to make chaat or just eat papdis with your cup of Masala Chai/coffee. You can enjoy papdi with mint-coriander chutney.
