The key to making tasty papdi puri chaat at home are
- Firstly, I made papdi puri dough with all-purpose flour, but you made it half wheat flour and half maida.
- Secondly, Roll the puri’s should be slightly thinner than a normal chapati or rotis. this would help in attaining a crisp texture. also, do not forget to poke with a knife before deep frying.
- Lastly, Fry puri on a medium-low flame. Once deep fried, store them in an airtight container for longer shelf life.
