Instructions

Prepare the Papdi Dough

Combine all-purpose flour, semolina, gram flour, salt, and butter in a large bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.

Roll and Cook the Papdis

Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion into a thin, square shape. Using a grill pan or a lightly oiled baking sheet, bake each papdi over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly golden and crispy. Alternatively, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Prepare the Chaat Filling

In a bowl, combine the boiled chickpeas, cumin seeds, black pepper, red chili powder, garam masala (if using), lemon juice, salt, and tamarind chutney. Mix well.

Assemble and Serve

Place the crispy papdis on a serving plate. Top with the chickpea mixture and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Oil-Free Papdi Chaat

For extra crispy papdis, use a very thin rolling pin and ensure even cooking.
Adjust the spice level according to your preference. Add more or less chili powder to suit your taste.
Feel free to add other toppings like finely chopped onions, tomatoes, yogurt, or sev for extra flavor and texture.
Make the papdis ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. They will stay crispy for a couple of days.
