Dahi Papdi Chaat Recipe
Step 1 – Prepare Boondi and Yogurt Mixture
In a bowl, take yogurt (curd/dahi) and whisk it. Next, add boondi to the yogurt, along with red chili powder, chaat masala, black salt, and sugar. Combine everything well.
Step 2 – Assemble the Chaat
On a serving plate, spread the yogurt-boondi mixture.
Then place the crumbled papdi on top of the yogurt mixture. Layer the mashed boiled potato on top of the papdi layer.
Step 3 – Drizzle the Chutneys
Drizzle over the green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney (imli chutney), and then sprinkle a bit of chaat masala on top.
Step 4 – Garnish
Top the chaat with chopped onions and tomatoes, then generously garnish it with sev and chopped coriander. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice. Serve immediately for the perfect balance of taste and crunch.
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding more sweet tamarind chutney and mint-coriander chutney as desired.
Serving Suggestion
This beloved Indian street food is tasty all on its own – it’s got the perfect mix of spicy, tangy, and sweet notes. You don’t need anything else to enjoy its deliciousness.
However, if you’re in the mood, pairing it with a steaming cup of Masala Chai is always a fantastic idea. That’s my preferred way to enjoy it – a delightful combo of flavors!
Be sure to put together the dahi papdi chaat recipe right before serving. If you wait too long, the papdi might lose its crunchiness and turn soggy. So, for the best taste and texture, assemble the chaat just before enjoying it!
