Papri chaat, paapri chaat or papdi chaat (Urdu: پاپڑی چاٹ ‎) is a popular traditional north Indian and Pakistani fast food and street food.[1][2][3][4] Many various additional dishes throughout India are also referred to as papri chaat.[2] Some restaurants in the United States serve the traditional version of the dish.[5][6]

Preparation

Papri chaat is traditionally prepared using crisp fried dough wafers known as papri, along with boiled chick peas, boiled potatoes, yogurt and tamarind chutney[1][2][7] and topped with chaat masala and sev.[2][8] The papri are typically prepared with refined white flour and ghee or oil.[9][10] Mint,[7] cilantro[11] and spices[12] may also be used. The dish has sweet, sour, tangy and spicy flavors and a creamy and crunchy texture.[2][7]

Etymology

"Papri" refers to the wafers, and the word "chaat" refers to several fast food dishes and snacks.[1] "Chaat" aliterally means "to lick" in Hindi.[1][2] The term also refers to a variety of dishes in India.[2]

Street food

Papri chaat is often purveyed and consumed at mobile food stalls in India.[7] In India, it is more popular in the northern region of the country compared to other areas.[12]
