Masala mini papadams

It's been ages since my last post here! I have forgotten the fact that writing in this space is a source of joy for me!! Happy to be here again :-)

This recipe is my own simple creation, with inspiration from north indian snack 'bhel puri'. This is a tasty healthy and refreshing snack, it needs some cooking in advance, but requires very few ingredients and super easy to put together in jiffy.


How to prepare:

  1. Soak a cup of black eyed peas over night. Make simple curry with them (recipe follows soon). Let the curry cool down, even better if you let it sit in refrigerator until you are ready to put together the snack.
  2. Take around 50 mini papadams, and deep fry in hot oil or microwave roast . I used black pepper mini papads
  3. Take a bowl and add the below items and mix together using a fork
    • finely chopped red onions - 2 medium sized
    • finely chopped tomatoes - 2 medium sized
    • squeeze out fresh lemon juice from a lemon
  4. Aloo bhujia for a savoury twist
  5. Keep finely chopped fresh coriander leaves in a bowl for garnishing
  6. Chat masala for a little sprinkle on the top
  7. Now take a couple of platters, spread the fried/roasted mini papadams and dish out small portions of the above ingredients on each papadam, in the following order:
    • black-eyed peas
    • onion-tomato-lemon juice mix 
    • aloo bhujia 
    • chopped coriander (use your fingers tips to sprinkle and garnish)
    • In the end, sprinkle very little amount of chat masala on the platter
Viola! The delicious masala mini papadams are ready to be served and enjoyed!!
