Papadi Chaat or Dahi Papadi Chaat is a very popular street food of India. This recipe has sweet, sour, tangy and spicy flavors with a creamy and crunchy texture. As name suggests Papadi Chaat, this yummy chaat is prepared using papadis as the base. Papadi is crisp small deep fried puri prepared with wheat flour or all purpose flour. These papadsi are used to make various Indian chaat recipes like sev puri, dahi puri, or can be enjoyed as tea time snack with tea.
Papadi chaat is my family all time favorite chaat recipe. To make it healthy, I always prefer making whole wheat papadis at home and by adding varieties of sprouts and vegetables to it. Papadi chaat recipe ingredients might vary and can be prepared as per your preference and taste, but however you make it, it just tastes delicious and mouthwatering that you can’t resist eating.
