FAQ's

Can we bake or make Kuttu Papdi in Air Fryer or Oven

You can also bake these gluten-free papdi. Just add a tsp of ghee or oil to the flour when kneading and bake in a pre-heated oven at 400°F/200°C for 7-8 minutes.
To make in Air Fryer, pre-heat the air fryer. Arrange rolled papdis in the air fryer basket. Air Fryer at 400°F/200°C for 7-8 minutes.

Can we make these papdis 2-3 days ahead of making chaat

These gluten-free papdi can be made ahead of preparation time, but assemble the chaat just before serving as papdis can turn soggy due to the moisture of chutneys and yogurt/dahi.

Serving Suggestion

You can also garnish the chaat with fried potato (Laccha) namkeen (it's a deep-fried savory snack made with shredded potatoes) to give a nice crisp but take care to add it just before serving as it can become soggy. Use store bought Aloo Lacchha (for fasts) or make at home.

For making potato/aloo lacchha, coarsely grate/ shred potato, soak in cold water for 10-15 minutes and completely dry on kitchen towel and deep fry in oil.
