Millets Papdi/crackers/chaat

 I am making papdi so often nowadays that I felt like they deserved a page of their own!

Interestingly, I started making them more often after going gluten-free. Probably because it is easier to make papdi's with gluten-free flours than making rotis. And of course, daughter loves them too, which was the starting point.

Made these today, and they were amazing. I paired them today with rajma patties (with roasted beetroot, brazil nuts and oats flour).

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup rice flour
  • 1/2 cup ragi
  • 2 tbsp besan
  • 2 tbsp chanaa daal - soaked for at least 30 minutes
  • 2 tbsp raw peanuts - roasted, peeled and coarsely crushed
  • curry leaves - chopped
  • 2 tbsp pepper - coarsely crushed
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 2 tbsp oil for mixing
  • salt
  • water - a little just to help with forming a tight dough
