PAPDI CHAAT RECIPE | CHAAT RECIPES

Papdi chaat is the usual starter in most of our potluck parties and one of my friend makes this so well, but we always use store bought papdis. This time when i wanted to try out papdi chaat at home i clarified my doubts with my friend and we all enjoyed the papdi chaat and sharing the recipe of papdi chaat.
Though  we add little yogurt | dahi to this recipe, this is not dahi papdi chaat. Will post that recipe in future .

Note:
  1. Always make the papdi just before serving.
  2. Adding yogurt is optional.
  3. Keep all the ingredients chilled ( onions, tomatoes, potatoes), this will retain the crunchiness.
  4. In the last you can sprinkle some chaat masala and cumin seed powder to make it more flavorful.
