Papdi (crisp chaat puri)

पापड़ी

Pantry

The small crisp wheat disc under sev puri and dahi puri, and crushed into bhel for a shatter that sev on its own cannot give.

What to know

It softens within a minute of meeting chutney, so it is crushed in at the table rather than mixed ahead.

Choosing it
It should snap. One that bends has taken on moisture and will be leathery in the bowl.
Storing it
Airtight, away from anything damp.

Measures

  • 1 piece ≈ 5 g

Cups here are the Indian 200 ml cup, not the 240 ml US cup — a common reason a recipe does not work. Weigh where you can; the grams are the figure we cook to.
