Notes
Tips
- Riped Avocados: Make sure to use ripened avocados to make the chaat delicious.
- Lime Juice: Don't forget to add lime juice to the avocado mixture, it prevents the avocado from browning.
- Measurements: There are no exact measurements for this recipe. The toppings can be increased or decreased as per individual taste and preferences.
- Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh and crispy papdi's. Papdis, sev go rancid very fast, even before their expiration date, so make sure to check them before using.
- Homemade Chutney: Using homemade chutney adds more flavor and depth to the chaat, so avoid using store-bought chutneys if possible.
- Serve immediately: Keep all the ingredients ready, when you are ready to serve, assemble the avocado papdi chaat on a serving plate and serve immediately. This helps to prevent the dahi papri chaat from getting soggy.
Variations
- Dahi Avocado Papdi Chaat: You can drizzle some sweetened yogurt (curd) mixture along with chutneys to make a variation.
- Tortilla chips: You can also swap papdis with thick tortilla chips in this recipe, it works really well.
