Instructions
 

Make the Papdis

  • Combine all-purpose flour, ghee, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Rub the ghee into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 6 inches in diameter).
  • Use a cookie cutter or a small bowl to cut out round papdis. Prick them with a fork.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Deep fry the papdis until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through.
  • Remove the papdis and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Assemble the Chaat

  • Arrange the fried papdis on a serving plate.
  • Top with thinly sliced boiled potatoes and boiled green peas.
  • Spoon on the hung yogurt.
  • Drizzle generously with green chutney and tamarind chutney.
  • Sprinkle with chaat masala and salt.
  • Garnish with sev, finely chopped red onion, and cilantro.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Papdi Chaat

  • For extra crispy papdis, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying. Test by dropping a small piece of dough; it should sizzle immediately.
  • If you don't have hung yogurt, you can use regular yogurt, but be sure to drain some of the whey to prevent the chaat from becoming too watery.
  • Feel free to customize your chaat with other toppings like pomegranate seeds, chopped tomatoes, or sev mamra (a thicker type of sev).
  • Make the papdis ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. They'll stay crispy for a couple of days.
