Chatpati Papdi Chana Chaat

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.
