Bhel puri recipe, Papdi recipe - Raks Kitchen (1)

I had bhel puri in Kailash Parbhat once and totally loved it. Since we went for lunch buffet, the chaat items were unlimited.

And we all enjoyed the delicious chaat very well. Since I made Sev for Diwali and had some puffed rice that I bought for Saraswathi pooja, I thought of making bhel puri/Poori at home.

Thought first I will make the chutneys today and tomorrow the chaat, but then could not control my craving for chaat and I was super bored today.

I made chutneys first, then made papdi. If we have these things ready, then all we have to do is some shaking business for mixing all the ingredients to make bhel puri.

So if you want the chutney recipe, you can click on the ingredients list that will take you to the respective recipes.

Firstly lets see the papdi recipe. This can be used in all varieties of chaat recipes…

Papdi method

Mix flour, oil/ ghee, ajwain and salt well and then add water to make a stiff dough. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes.

Serve immediately. After some time the puffed rice becomes soft, I love that way too 🙂

Immaculate Divya Bruno Sathyan, Sorry for the late reply, I think you should have added more water. Next time try to make a stiff dough, also cook in medium flame till it turns golden brown to turn crisp. Try pricking in more areas. Its very easy to get. Do try and see again

I have only one question. Is the sev served hard right out of the package or do you cook it first?
Oftentimes I saute it lightly in butter before adding rice and water and let it simmer 20 minutes or so with my rice.
I am unsure how to use it in the Behl Puri recipe.
