Ingredients
  

For Potato Mixture

  • 2 large potatoes (boiled, peeled, and cut into small cubes)
  • 2 teaspoon oil
  • ¼ teaspoon asafoetida / Hing
  • 1 teaspoon green chili paste or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon amchur powder
  • ½ teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoon coriander leaves finely chopped

For Yogurt Mixture

  • 1 cup chilled yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • A pinch of salt

For Papdi Chaat

  • 25-30 Papdis
  • 1 cup boiled black chickpeas
  • Coriander chutney as required
  • Tamarind and dates chutney as required
  • Chaat masala as required
  • Roasted cumin powder as required
  • ¼ cup thin Sev or as required
  • Pomegranate seeds as needed (optional)
  • 2-3 tablespoon coriander leaves finely chopped

Instructions
 

Making Potato Mixture

  • Heat oil in a pan, add asafoetida and green chili paste. Saute for few seconds and add boiled and cubed potatoes. Mix well.
  • Add turmeric powder, garam masala powder, amchur powder, sugar, and salt to taste. Mix everything well.
  • Using a fork, roughly mash the potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add chopped coriander leaves, mix and turn off the heat.
  • Set aside the potato mixture while preparing other ingredients.

Preparing Yogurt Mixture

  • In a small mixing bowl, take yogurt and whisk well to make it smooth.
  • Add sugar and a pinch of salt, mix well until sugar is dissolved.

Making Papdi Chaat

  • Arrange 7-8 Papdis in an individual plate in a single layer. I have prepared individual plates, but you can also make Papdi Chaat on a big serving plate by placing all the papris.
  • Top the Papdi with potato mixture and boiled black chickpeas.
  • Then pour the yogurt on top of it.
  • Add green chutney and tamarind chutney as much you prefer on the top of yogurt.
  • Sprinkle roasted cumin powder, chaat masala powder, and thin Sev on the top.
  • Garnish the Papdi Chaat with finely chopped coriander leaves and pomegranate seeds.
  • Serve the Papdi Chaat immediately after assembling.

Serving Suggestions

  • We need to serve Papdi Chaat immediately after serving; otherwise, Papdis will become soggy and lose the crispiness.
  • This dish is full of flavors, and hence Papdi Chaat can be served on its own without any accompaniments.
  • However, while making different chaats, Papdi Chaat can be served with Pani Puri, Dahi Puri, or Sev Puri.

Make-Ahead Suggestions

  • Papdi Chaat can not be pre-prepared. If we keep Papdi Chaat for longer, it will lose its structure as Papdis become soggy.
  • But we can pre-prepare other ingredients, and then assembling Papdi Chaat is just a work of few minutes.
  • We can prepare potato mixture, yogurt mixture, and chutneys well ahead of time.
  • The potato mixture stays in the fridge for up to two days. Also, chickpeas can be boiled a day before and stored in the refrigerator until use.
  • We can store coriander chutney in the fridge for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Date and tamarind chutney stay in the fridge for up to a month and in the freezer for months.

Notes

  1. Use baked Papdis instead of fried for the healthier option.
  2. Add chutneys as much as per your taste preferences. The chutneys should be pourable and not too thick.
  3. I have used coriander chutney for this Papdi Chaat, but you can use mint and coriander chutney for the mint flavors.
  4. You can also garnish the Papdi Chaat with some Boondi for more crunchiness.
  5. Serve the Papdi Chaat immediately and right after assembling it.
  6. This recipe can easily be halved or doubled.
