Notes
- You can skip adding sev if you do not have it or you do not like it.
- If you don’t want spicy then you can skip the green chili.
- Here I have used Lijjat urad dal papad with black pepper. You can use any flavored papad like jeera, garlic, plain, double Mari (double black pepper).
- If your tomatoes are too juicy. Then discard the seeds and then chop. So the topping will not get too watery.
- We have used roasted papad to make this appetizer a low calorie. However, you can deep fry them to get the Punjabi restaurant-style flavor.
- You can prepare the masala papad in advance and add the toppings just before serving.
- You can also dry roast the papad directly on flame using tongs.
- For variation, add grated carrot, finely chopped green raw mango.
