Prepare the Hung Curd
- Place 1/2 cup of plain yogurt in a muslin cloth or cheesecloth. Tie the cloth securely and hang it for 5-6 hours, or overnight, allowing the whey to drain. This will result in thick, creamy hung curd (Greek Yogurt).
Prepare the Papads
- Divide each papad into 6 triangular pieces.
Toast the Papads
- Using tongs, carefully toast the triangular papad pieces over an open flame until lightly crisp. Be cautious to avoid burning them.

- Transfer the hung curd to a piping bag (or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off). Pipe a dollop of hung curd onto each papad piece.
- Top with finely chopped onion and tomato.
- Sprinkle generously with chaat masala.
- Garnish with fresh chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, you can lightly brush the papads with a little ghee or oil before toasting for a richer taste, although the recipe is designed to be oil-free.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can simply spoon the hung curd onto the papads.
- Feel free to experiment with other types of papads or add other toppings like finely chopped green chilies or pomegranate seeds for extra color and zest.
- Prepare the hung curd ahead of time for easier assembly. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
