Papri Chaat, Paapri Chaat or Papdi Chaat , is a street food and a popular snack.  Papdi refers to crisp fried dough wafers made from refined white flour and oil. In Papri Chaat, the papris are served with boiled potatoes, boiled chick peas, chilli, yogurt and tamarind chutney and topped with chaat masala and ‘sev’. Papdi is the key ingredient of Papdi Chaat.  The popular dish is often eaten from travelling food vendor stalls.

With a growing kid at home, I have to come up with different variations to the same food. My son is not very fond of eggs. But we know that its very important for the children. Egg is a great source of protein and its important to consume it atleast twice or thrice a week. So I try to come out with something different everytime. I had read this dish on the menu card of a restaurant a few months back. I had this at the back of my mind. Today I decided to try it out for evening snacks.

20 pieces papdi’s, (I picked up readymade ones from a local vendor),
