1tbsp.oil
salt to taste.
oil for frying.
beaten curd -1cup

Now roll a little pooris of 1 inch diameter and spread them on a paper.
Prick them with a fork.
Now deep fry them.
The papdis are ready and tasty to eat as it is, but we can make papdi chaat also ----


  1. put 5-6 papdis in a quarter plate. put a little potato on the top of each. spread curd over this......then tamarind chatney and sprinkle the spices-salt,pepper and cumin.

  2. u can make a complete chaat this way also-----put 1or 2 vada(soaked in curd), add 4-5 papdi broken into pieces, few pieces of potatoes, then add curd,chatney, spices and then garnish with bhujia and corriander leaves.

Try it once and tell me how did u like it?

I love chaats and stuff like this. Will surely try making the papdis instead of buying them, so a couple of questions:

1. How thin should the papdis be?

2. How many papdis can be made with 1 cup flour?

Thanks in advance :)

Sachin: Thanks Sachin for appreciating:), I will certainly chk ur blog.
Happy Diwali to U also.

Shalom; Papdi---They are tasty both ways--very thin also, medium also,roll it as thin as u find comfortable, make all of them and spread on a paper and fry after 10 minutes.
15-20 can be made in a cup-normal size, though all depends on the cup size and papdi size, I normally make small size, as they are easy to eat, that Paanipoori size( the way they are available in the market.
U r welcome:)

Nungambakkam outlet we tried the buffet...ambiance is ok type, seating is neither very close nor very spacious.just good enough.. nothing very fancy..but nice. Menu is quite good, with lots of variety.soups are very good, green pea and tomato both,infact the best.Then starters,some kalari potatoes, sesame kabab,pakoras and chilli paneer etc..chilli paneer he brought only when i saw it in menu and asked him...but anyway it wasnt good, pakora and sesame kabab were good but for second serving we waited, till we almost came to the end of our lunch. for papdi chaat, they were putting everything on sem( maida sticks fried)..a variation and a good one. In the main food they had sambhar rasam, paneer khurchan daal and one more vegetable.here I found it lacking not a singe preparation was good, daal was good but it had too much of salt., naan kulcha were well made. they had paani puri dahi vada, and variety of rice and salads etc.I like their way of serving dahi bhall.small small kat...
