The papdis are ready and tasty to eat as it is, but we can make papdi chaat also ----

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:)

Ingredients:----- 1cup broken wheat 250 gm cabbage..julienned 1small capsicum..julienned 1 carrot grated 1 tsp. oil 1tsp. mustard seeds. 1/2 tsp. turmeric 1/2 tsp salt or as you like it 1/2 lemon 2 tbsp. roasted peanuts. Green chilli (optional) coriander leaves..finely chopped for garnishing. Dry roast the broken wheat, till it is golden. In a pan put oil, and when it is hot add mustard seeds. When they start spluttering add all the vegetables. saute them for 5-8 minutes, till they get shiny or loose water. Keep them aside. Now cook the broken wheat with 2 cup water, turmeric and salt, slow the fire and cook till all the water is absorbed. Mix the vegetables in this. Now while serving spread some peanuts and then sprinkle lemon. TIPS:.....even you can roast the wheat in microwave also, you will have to stir it once or twice. Some people add tomatoe
