Last Ramadan when my sister was here in Pakistan, she taught me this delicious Paapri Chaat and since then it's equally famous among my family and extended family members.
Paapri Chaat is a mouth watering North Indian fast food, relished by most of the people. It can be found easily on the roadside food carts all over India & Pakistan.
In the realm of chaat recipes, Paapri Chaat, is a favorite. The chutney drizzled on a bed of chickpeas, boiled potatoes, lends a sweet, tangy and savory note, further fortified with beaten yogurt and finished with chopped onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves and Paapri, adding crunch to the hearty chaat. A crowd-pleasing appetizer recipe that is quick to fix provided you have done some preparation work ahead. Wow your guests by artfully arranging the papdi with zesty toppings and vibrant garnishes for an impressive beginning to a dinner or lunch.
