Step-2 When masala is cooked well then at low flame add boiled safed matar, turmeric powder, tamarind chutney, water, coriander leave. Cover and let it cook for 2 min on low flame. Chhola is ready for papdi chaat.

Prepare Papdi for chaat

In a bowl add all the dough ingredients. Mix everything very well and add water to knead it. Make soft dough and keep aside it for 20 minutes. Now take it out and make big size thin roti so that you can cut that roti for making many papdi’s. Take biscuit cutter or any small glass and cut roti in shape of papdi. Now make holes with the help of fork. Cover all papdi’s with cloth and keep it at rest for 5 minutes. Now heat oil in deep fry pan and when oil is hot then fry papdi and then take it out in a plate. Let it cool down.

Tips:

• Add very less amount of water in safed matar chhola.
• Always make holes in papdi so that it does not puff up while frying.
