Papdi Chat

Papdi chat i was forced to do.It so happened one day i wanted to make muruku.I took the flour in a bowl,added ajwain,salt and butter.Poured warm water and started kneading the dough.Then to my horror i realised the flour is not rice flour but maida/plain flour.I never ate muruku made with maida.Then made the dough and kept it to rest for while and gave my brain some time to think what to do with the maida.

Googled for the idea and saw shailu's website where in she made papdi chat.So lifted the idea from there and made this chat.Luckly had the sev at home and the outcome was excellent.

Ingredients:-

Maida 1 cup

Ajwain 1 tbsp

Butter 2 tbsp

Salt as per taste
