Chat Evening!


Bored of the regular fare of rice, rasam, rotis and subzi, Mom and I decided to cook up something different for dinner. And since all of us were craving for some street-style chats, chat it had to be! On the menu was Papdi chat and Pani puri.

We bought some puris for the pani puri, and papdis, thin (nylon) sev, chat masala and kala namak (black salt) from the local farsan store. Maa always has a stock of frozen green chutney and the marwadi sweet chutney which just has to be thawed and sufficient amount of water added.

Recipes for both the chutneys in my next post. Some pics for now :)

Boiled moong sprouts to make the snack healthier. This along with boiled potatoes 
(mixed with salt and chat masala was the filling for the pani puri and topping for the papdi chat)


Green chutney mixed with water and kala namak for the 'pani'


Papdi's neatly laid out on a plate with the boiled alu topping 


Now add the moong sprouts, finely chopped raw onions and a dash of green chutney 


Topping it with just a bit of meetha chutney


And finally the Sev!


The chat stall is all ready and loooksss soooo welcoming!
