Papdi Chaat

Step 1: Prepare the Papdi

Take a flour tortilla and cut it into small squares or diamond shapes using a knife.

Step 2: Fry the Papdi

Heat oil in a pot for deep frying. Carefully add the cut tortilla pieces to the hot oil and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

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

In a serving glass or bowl, create the first layer by adding the fried tortilla papdi. Follow with layers of chopped boiled potatoes, chickpeas, chopped tomatoes, and boiled moog (mung beans).

Step 5: Add Sauces and Yogurt

Drizzle green chutney and sweet chutney over the layers. Then, add a generous amount of the prepared yogurt mixture. Sprinkle a pinch of cumin powder and cayenne pepper on top.

Step 6: Repeat Layers

Repeat all the previous assembly steps to create a second set of layers on top of the first one, finishing with the yogurt mixture and spices.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Garnish the top of the chaat with fine sev, some boondi, and freshly chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

• You can use store-bought papdi instead of frying tortillas.

• Adjust the amount of chutneys and spices to your personal taste.
