Whole Wheat Masala Papdi Recipe / Kadak Puri Recipe

Total Time: 50 minutes

Cuisine: Indian

Ingredients:

To begin making the homemade Papdi, we will first have to make the dough
Mix all the flour, ajwain, pepper, oil and salt together
Add water a little at a time and knead the papdi dough until it becomes firm and smooth and firm
It should not be soft
You can make 30 small balls and roll them out thin about 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 1/8 th thickness
Or you can divide the dough into two portions and roll out into a big large circle and cut small rounds using a cookie cutter
Make sure the papdi you roll out are thin
After rolling prick the papdi / kadak puri with a fork all round to prevent it from puffing when bakedPlace the oil for deep frying over medium heat
To check the right temperature, put a small tiny ball of dough into the oil and if it comes sizzling up, then you know the oil is heated to the right temperature
Slide the papdi into the oil in small batches and deep fry until golden brown
Drain the excess oil by placing in a kitchen paper
You can optionally at this stage sprinkle chaat masala on the top to make it chatpata
Allow it to cool and store the Papdi / kadak puri in an airtight container
Use the Papdi to make chaats like Mumbai Style Bhelpuri, Sev Papdi Chaat, and many more
You sure can innovate your topping, may be like a chilli-cheese, or chilli corn and cheese, etc
