Dahi Papdi Chaat

Few days back I tried the recipe of Baked Papdi,but it didn't turn out well.So i tried the traditional recipe today and also the all time hit.And yes,this time it was a HIT in my kitchen too. 
Ingredients:
Serves TWO
For Papdi
Makes-12-13
All Purpose Flour/Maida-1/2 Cup
Ghee/Oil-1/2 Tbsp
Ajwain/carom seeds-1 Tsp
Water-For kneading
Salt as per taste

For Chaat
Boiled potato Cubed-From 1 medium sized
Green Chutney-2 Tbsp
Imli Chutney-2 Tbsp
Chopped tomato-1 medium sized
Chopped Onion-1 medium size
Curd-1/2 Cup
Sugar-1 Tsp
Chilli Powder-1/2 Tsp
Chaat Masala-1/2 Tsp
Bhuna Jeera Powder-1/2 Tsp
Coriander/Dhania-For garnishing
Sev-For Garnishing
Salt-As per taste
Method:
1.Take maida,oil,ajwain and salt in a bowl.Add little water at a time to make the dough.The dough should be little dry compared to the dough we make for chappati.
 2.Wrap the dough with a wet kitchen towel and set aside for 15-20 mins.

3.Roll out the dough to a very very thin sheet and cut it into round shape with a cookie cutter(I used the lid of a small stainless steel dabba).Prick the surface of each papdi with a fork.


4.Fry the papdis in hot oil till brown.Be careful not to burn them.And make sure oil is very hot oil otherwise it wont be crispy.

5.Arrange the papdis in a seving bowl.

6.Add the boil cubed poatoes.

7.Add whipped curd(mixed with sugar) and the two chutneys.

8.Garnish with chopped onion,tomatoes,dry masalas,sev and chopped coriander.Enjoy!!!

Note:
1.Serve it immediately,otherwise papdis will loose the crispiness.
2.Along with the boiled cubed potatoes,you can add boiled chikpeas too.
