Similarly, "A' had made 'Papdi chaat' for a Baby shower Potluck , couple weeks ago. She had fried 'Flour Tortillas' to make the 'Papdi' for the chaat!!! They were so crisp and yummy!! I thought it was a easy and cool trick to do!!
Ingredients:
4 flour Tortillas cut up into strips
1 boiled Potato chopped into pieces and sprinkled with salt and red chili powder
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped tomato/ sliced cherry tomatoes
1tbsp chopped Cilantro
1/4 Cup Fine Sev
Oil for frying Tortillas
1/4 cup Yogurt slightly sweetened (optional)
Boiled Chickpeas/ white chana (optional)
Green Chutney--
1/2 cup Cilantro
1/4 cup mint leaves
1tsp lemon juice
1/2tsp cumin seeds
2 green chilies
salt
sugar
Blend everything into a smooth paste
Tamarind Jaggery Chutney--
1 cup water
1/2 cup Jaggery or use 1/4cup jaggery and 1/4 cup sugar
1.5 tbsp Tamarind concentrate
salt
1tsp Chaat masala
1tsp Cumin-Coriander powder
1/2tsp red chili powder
Mix everything till well blended and boil for 10 mins or until slightly thick. This Chutney should taste Sweet-Sour tasting.
Method:
1) Deep fry the cut up Tortilla strips in oil till golden brown and crisp.This will be 'Papdi' for the chaat.Drain well.
2) Assemblying the chaat--
a) Place a handful of Papdi in individual serving plate.Top it with chopped potato, onion and tomatoes.
b) Drizzle the Sweet-Tangy Tamarind and Jaggery chutney and drops of green chutney. If you like drizzle some sweetened yogurt and boiled chick peas.
c) Garnish with chopped cilantro and fine Sev. Sprinkle some chaat masala, red chili powder on the chaat.
Serve immediately!!!
