Vrat Ke Papdi Chaat | Navratri Vrat Recipes

You must be wondergin what’s vrat ke papdi chaat?  Well, it’s same like normal papdi chaat recipe with minor changes to suit vrat ie fasting rules like instead of plain flour used here is Rajgeera Atta, no garlic, onion and aloo sev replaces normal sev.  It doesn’t really looks very appealing like papdi chaat because it’s very simple with less ingredients but neither the less it taste delicious. 


During Upwas/fasting it’s going to be feast,  I just got the idea to make papdi chaat suitable for vrat during one of my chaat section with my colleague and she was saying fasting days nothing interesting to eat.  Not only for vrat you can make this any time and enjoy this different and yummy papdi chaat.

Pepper Powder – 1/4 tsp
Water – As needed

Method

1. For cilantro or vrat ki hari chutney, add all chutney ingredients in a blender or mixer and grind to smooth paste, add water only if required.  Keep aside.

2. In a bowl take all the ingredients listed for papdi, add water in small quantity ie 1 tbsp at a time and knead to smooth dough.  This doesn't required too much of water so be careful.  Keep the dough aside for 15 minutes. 


3. Divide dough into 3 parts, take one section of dough, make smooth ball and roll into thin roti.  Use a cookie cutter or any jar/box cap/lid to make small circles.
4. Prick the circles in 4-5 places with fork or knife so it doesn't puffs up and becomes puri.
5. Deep fry in hot oil in small batches until golden brown and drain in kitchen towel.
