Chaat is a quintessential part of Indian street food. The evening snack fare in India is so incomplete without a plate full of vibrant, flavoursome chaat. From dahi bhalla, dahi papdi to Chinese bhel puri, the variety of chaat served in India is just overwhelming. We too have many Chaat favourites but one, in particular, is my love – Dahi Papdi. Or as most of us call it – papdi chaat. Whatever be the name, a papdi chaat is always the crisp, crunchy savoury crackers loaded with sweet and spicy toppings. Each bite of papdi chaat is a real outburst of flavors.

How To Serve Papdi Chaat?
I hate confining myself to the kitchen while the party is in full swing. So to engage my guest in the Papdi plating process, I set up a tiny Chaat station in the dining area. Arrange all the chaat essentials in the bowls. And while engaging in an interesting conversation about the food assemble the papdi chaat. Or let your better half take charge of the Chaat corner while you concentrate on other snacks. It is one of the coolest ways to serve Papdi Chaat during a party.

How To Make Chaat Without Homemade Papdi?
Talking about the Papdi, I prefer making them from scratch at home. Reason? I love doing that. But if you do not have enough time in hand to make papdi, use the ready-made ones. Nowadays, there are a lot of good quality papdi available in the supermarket. Pick any one of them and just assemble the toppings.
I know. Most of you will be like β why canβt we just eat Papdi Chaat at the street side food joint? Because making your own customized platter of papdi chaat at home is so much fun. It fills you with a gratifying feeling. And imagine, the tons of compliments you will receive while the guests stuff their mouth with the homemade papdi chaat.
