Masala Papad







           Masala Papad is not a starter nor a snack, neither a fast food either a street food. But still it is enjoyd before or with any meal or 4 pm snack before or after tea. It can be a 4 am chatpata snack while studying or a time pass snack before the ordered menu calms your hunger.                                                                   Base Papad is made with various lentils. It is crisp and deep fried. It can be any papad like moong dal papad, urad dal papad, chana papad, or a big one is khaja which is made out of rice flour or maida (refined flour). Toppings are just onion, tomato, cilantro (coriander), and 0 number sev mixed just with salt, red pepper (chilli) powder and little oil. Khaja papad is street food in northern part of india and found easily during Ramdan month at eftar bazzar or eftar party.
           Papad is a summer work for Indian mothers. Now days we can buy easily in any super market or grocery store. But when I was child at my grandma's place all the ladies infact neighbor ladies will togather make variety of papad. Papad is a lengthy and though but lovely process where all the kids and ladies cook togather, sing and enjoy the hot summer. This hardwork can be enjoy year long.
Next time instead of ordering heavy starter enjoy this light, crispy and lip smacking hardwork before your meal at Indian restaurant. Or surprise your partner with this crispy Masla papad by making at home.
Happy eating foodies!!!

My neighbour auntie introduced this lip smacking crunchy flatbread to me. This flatbread is called Dharwadi bhakri, means crunchi millet flatbread which belongs to Bidar. Maharashtra and Karnataka border is called Bidar.                    Millet flatbreads are popular accross India. But this dharwadi bhakri is little different as it can be stored for months.

Kala means black. Dry cocon...

Mirch ke Tipore

                      Mirchi ke Tipore, basically less spicy green pepper's side dish. This is one of the most favorite side dish even my 6 year old loves a lot.
