It is so hard to focus on the laptop screen when your eyes turn dreamy. This is happening right now to me as I sit down to write about Papri Chaat. Yummm..! Crunchy, tangy, zesty, hot, spicy, sweet – it is amazing how a simple Chaat can reflect us such Symphony of flavors. Wow..seriously just wow!!!
Papri chaat is traditionally prepared using crisp fried dough wafers known as papri, along with boiled chick peas, boiled potatoes, dahi (yogurt) and tamarind chutney and topped with chaat masala and sev. The papri is typically prepared with refined white flour and ghee or oil. Mint, cilantro and spices may also be used. The dish has sweet, sour, tangy and spicy flavors and a creamy and crunchy texture.
Who doesn’t love chaat? Do you guys know that moment that whenever you go to the Bazaar shopping with your mum or anyone else…and a savory, sweet auroma just encompasses you and you simply just want to follow it and suddenly you are mouth-watery when you come across all those gorgeous chutneys and aachars in the Bazaar. But, however, now you do not need to sit and wait in humongous lines as our online ordering platform Foodmario is already available in the market digitally and manually.
