Ingredients
- 8 pieces papdi wafers (urad-dal crisps)
- ¾ cup plain yogurt
- 3 tbsp tamarind chutney
- ½ tsp chaat masala
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
- ½ piece jalapeño, thinly sliced
Instructions
- 1
Arrange papdi wafers on a serving plate, standing them upright or slightly tilted.
- 2
Drizzle yogurt generously over and between the papadis — the wafers will soften slightly from the moisture.
- 3
Drizzle tamarind chutney in a thin stream across the plate, coating most of the papadis.
- 4
Sprinkle chaat masala evenly over the top, then scatter cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño.
- 5
Serve immediately while papadis are still crispy on the edges.
