Step 2: Fry the Papdi

Step 3: Prepare the Yogurt Mixture

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of plain yogurt with a little water to achieve a slightly runny consistency. Add 1/2 tsp of black rock salt, a pinch of regular salt, and 1 tbsp of sugar. Mix well until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble the Chaat - Layer 1
