    About This Recipe

    Baked papdi is nothing but a healthier version of your classic fried papdi. Prepared with just 5 simple ingredients, this baked version turns out as crispy and crunchy as the traditional fried one, with the use of a little oil.

    Enjoy it on its own with your evening cup of tea or coffee, or use it to make chaat recipes such as papdi chaat, bhel puri and dahi puri.

    Double or triple the recipe to make a big batch, and store it for later use.

    What is Papdi?

    Papdi or Papri is an Indian style cracker which are small and round little discs prepared with flour and then deep fried to make it crunchy.

    Ingredients

    Just 5 basic pantry ingredients and you are sorted. You need – all purpose flour (maida), fine semolina (sooji), salt, carom seeds (ajwain) and oil.

    Traditionally, these papdi are prepared with all purpose flour. To make it a little healthy you can also use whole wheat flour instead, but the taste and texture will differ a bit.

    I also added fine semolina/sooji, as it makes the papdi crispy.

    Carom seeds are optional, but adds a unique flavour. So highly recommended!

    Serving Suggestions

    These Baked Papdi makes for a guilt free snack to munch along with your evening tea or coffee, or whenever the hunger strikes.

    They are also popularly used to make homemade chaats such as papdi chaat, bhel puri, aloo tikki chaat, dahi bhalla and dahi puri. You can add it in any chaat to make it a little crunchy. You can also use it as a base to make fusion starters or appetisers.

    Storing Suggestions

    Once the papdi cools down completely, store in an air tight container at room temperature for about 2-3 weeks. Make sure to close the container properly after every use, otherwise it will become soft.
