Ingredients

  • 2 masala papad use the North Indian papad
  • 2 drops ghee
  • 1 onion
  • 2 green chili
  • 4 tbsp finely chopped tomato deseed and use
  • 2 tbsp cucumber finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp carrots finely chopped optional
  • Salt as needed
  • 1/8 tsp chaat masala
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp coriander leaves finely chopped

Instructions

  • Microwave the papad for 1 minute.
  • If you want you can add ½ tsp of oil and spread it on the papad before you microwave it.
  • Alternatively you can deep fry the papad.
  • If you don’t have a microwave and don’t want to deep fry, place this on a hot tawa and cook this like how we make chapati in a medium-low flame.
  • Flip it and cook well on both sides.
  • Place the papad in an airtight container until serving.
  • In a bowl add the finely chopped onions, tomato, cucumber and carrots.
  • Grate the green chili in a grater and add it to the bowl.
  • Instead of finely chopping the green chili, grate it and add. This brings out nice flavour of the chilis.
  • Add little salt, lemon juice and chaat masala.
  • Mix well.
  • Now add2 drop of ghee on the roasted papad and smear it. This will help the papad to hold the toppings well.
  • Now smear few tbsp of the toppings evenly on the papad.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Else it will turn soggy.

Notes

Notes:
1. Always use the North Indian papad for making this masala papad.
2. You can replace red chili powder instead of green chilis.
3. You can add a few pomegranate arils for garnishing to get a sweet and spicy taste.
4. If the papad is too big, cut them into 4 and then roast/fry them.
5. Instead of papad, you can use khakra | millet khakra.
6. Always arrange the toppings just before serving the masala papad.
