Chaats are an all time favourite at home. Kids are happy with it and so am I ! Bhel puri is much preferred but sometimes we do make Sev Puri and Pani puri also.
When it comes to cooking, I need some quick and easy methods. Elaborate and long standing hours are not my cup of tea. I prefer preparing another dish in the mean time. Thus, the puris and sev are outsourced here, all other chutneys and toppings are made at home. Thus, this is an easy reference on How to make Sev Puri
The city’s chaats shop makes two kinds of puris, puffed ones and flattened ones. The flattened ones are called as papdi usually.
