Chatpati Papdi Chana Chaat is traditionally prepared using crisp fried papri, along with boiled chick peas, boiled potatoes, yogurt and tamarind chutney and topped with chaat masala. Due to lockdown I could not find cilantro or fresh coriander. The dish has sweet, sour, tangy and spicy flavors and a creamy and crunchy texture.
