Papdi and Papdi Chaat

Papdi chaat is one of my favourite chaat to make . Papdi can be made in advance and can be stored for few weeks . Papdi  goes very well with a nice cup of tea . For chaat you will need to some black chickpea ,potato and tamarind chutney. Papdi chaat can be made by crushing the paadi and adding everything together mixing well and serving or like i have done in the picture by using papadi itself as a serving tool.
