Roasted Papadi/ 2 pc

Roasted Papdi is a delightful and healthy take on the classic Indian snack, offering a satisfying and guilt-free version that preserves the essence of the original flavor while reducing the fat content. What makes it special is its effective cooking method, which turns rice flour (called papdis) into a beautiful dish without the need for deep-frying. Padis are usually flavored with a blend of aromatic spices such as cumin, red chilli powder and chaat masala, adding a spicy and savory taste.

Magic happens when spiced rice paddies are roasted in the oven to a perfect brown colour, giving them a satisfying, crispy texture without the use of a lot of oil usually found in traditional frying. This roasting process not only improves the texture of the rice but also preserves its rustic flavor.

Generous serving of sev (crispy chickpea noodles), grilled paddy garnished with fresh vegetables like chopped onion and tomato and topped with tangy tamarind chutney and creamy yoghurt is much more than a snack. A dish full of comparison points. Each bite offers a tantalizing blend of flavors like crunchy paddy, savory spices, fresh vegetables and the creamy coolness of yoghurt and chutney. Whether served as a healthy snack or snack, these snacks illustrate the idea that traditional flavors can be reinvented to suit modern palates and a love of food, guilt-free and served with an equal amount of other delicious things.
