Papdi Chaat- After School Snack Recipe

Its probably the simplest chaat recipe around the block. Yet one that leaves the eater craving for more. There are days when chaats have comprised of a whole meal in my life. Those days no longer exist. But the chaats continue to charm me and i can say that the charm has only grown ever since i discovered how to make them. I dont make papdi at home. No offence to those who do. In fact i tip my hat off to people who go to that sort of trouble but, me, man i m a simple lassie who likes to spend as little time as possible in the kitchen but wishes to give a gourmet side to any grub that comes out of my kitchen.

In case, you actually made ragda pattice, then i bet you will have some of that green and refreshing mint chutney lurking there idly in your fridge. This papdi chaat is a fantastic and quick way to make use of that mint chutney plus the papdi that you bought for the previous occasion and the sev that you picked up from the store. So shall we get to work?

I don't even bother making. All I have to do is step outside! Every street has chaat stalls & I have befriended many pani puri waalas so much so that I get free stuff! :D<br /><br />Looks yummy, btw! You should try nylon sev.. It tastes even more awesome on chaat than regular sev!
