Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Arrange papdi wafers on a serving plate, standing them upright or slightly tilted.

  2. Step 2

    Drizzle yogurt generously over and between the papadis — the wafers will soften slightly from the moisture.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle tamarind chutney in a thin stream across the plate, coating most of the papadis.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle chaat masala evenly over the top, then scatter cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately while papadis are still crispy on the edges.

Tools you’ll need

  • serving plate
  • small spoon or squeeze bottle (for chutneys)
