papdi chaat: delhi papdi chaat, papdi chaat recipe
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

papdi chaat recipe with step by step photos – i still remember having papdi chaat for the first time in a punjabi restaurant in mumbai (can’t remember the restaurant’s name). it was one of the best papdi chaat i had in mumbai.

when living in delhi, i had papdi chaats often, but cannot forget the one i had in mumbai. being a true blue mumbaite, i have always made sev puri, pani puri, bhel puri, dahi sev batata puri at home, but never papdi chaat.

not that papdi chaat is difficult or time consuming. just that it did not come to me that i can make it at home. so for the first time i made papdi chaat at home and it was exactly like the one i had in the mumbai restaurant. i made it the same day when i made sev puri.

in papdi chaat, besides the papdis (fried flour crispies), a melt in the mouth fusion of boiled chickpeas, potatoes and pakoris (fried black gram fritters) and curd (yogurt) is added.

delhi-papdi-chaat

in this papdi chaat recipe i have used all the ingredients except the urad dal pakoris. the pakoris are made exactly like the bhallas made for dahi bhallas. i did not have time to make the urad dal pakoris. if you decide to make the pakoris, then after deep frying them, let them cool and then soak them in water for some time. squeeze the water from the pakoris and add it to the papdi chaat before you top it with the curd and the chutneys.

as a substitute for pakoris, you can also use boondi. soak the boondis in water and then squeeze the water from the boondis. add these to the papdi chaat.

to make the papdi chaat healthy and nutritious, instead of fried papdis, use baked papdis. you can check this papdi recipe to make fried as well as baked papdis at home. also some moong sprouts and pomegranate can also be added to the chaat.

  5. grind the chutney mixture to a smooth paste. seive the chutney through a strainer. add more salt if needed.
  6. if the chutney becomes too thick add some water to liquidize it.
For assembling the papdi chaat:
  1. arrange the papdis in a shallow bowl or plate.
  2. top it up with chopped boiled potatoes and cooked chickpeas.
  3. you can add chopped onions and tomatoes to it, but its optional.
  4. sprinkle some chaat masala and red chili powder on it, if you want at this stage.

6. sprinkle all the spice powder and garnish papdi chaat with chopped coriander leaves. at this point i wished i had fresh pomegranate to add to the papdi chaat. it would have added a lovely color and texture to the recipe.

adding onions or tomatoes to papdi chaat is optional. onions add a nice crunch to the papdi chaat. i made one serving with onions and  tomatoes and this was also too good.

    Lovely recipe and looks so tempting!
    I am planning to make this on the weekend for a party of 30.
    Do u think i should just get all the raw material ready and have the guests assemble their own plates? I am worried that if i assemble everything then it may get soggy.
    Any ideas and tips will be highly appreciated.

      its a better idea to let the guests assemble. if you assemble and serve papdi chaat it will get soggy. just keep everything in bowls in the order in which the papdi chaat is assembled. all the spice powders+salt can be mixed together and served in one bowl. you can also mix the curd+cooked chana+boiled potatoes in one bowl.

    Tried this delicious street food for the first time at an Indian restaurant in Toronto- and I was hooked. They made it sweet potatoes and it was awesome, so I’ll maybe try your recipe and substitute the potatoes for yams? Are papdis generally available in regular grocery stores?

    • dassana amit says

      October 24, 2015 at 6:27 pm

      sweets potatoes will be a better option than yams, as yams will give a different taste and texture. papdis should be available in some indian grocery stores. if you have time, you can even make them at home. they can be fried or baked. you can have a look at this recipe – https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/papdi-recipe-fried-papdi-baked-papdi/
