Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into the world of Mom’s Papdi No Lot! This delightful snack is so good that it might just make you forget all your troubles—or at least distract you long enough to enjoy a bite (or five). Let’s unravel the secrets behind this culinary treasure, shall we?
Looks Can Be Deceiving!
Look at that crispy goodness! But don’t let the picture fool you—this treat is as easy to make as it is delicious. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up your own batch of Papdi:
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ajwain (carom seeds)
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
- Salt to taste
- 4 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
- Water, as needed for dough
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, ajwain, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.
- Add in the ghee and mix well until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Slowly add water to form a dough. Knead it for about 5 minutes until smooth and pliable.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes (time for you to recharge too!).
- After the dough has rested, divide it into small balls. Roll each ball into thin circles.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat. Fry the rolled dough circles in batches until they puff up and turn golden brown. You want them crisp, not soggy!
- Once fried, drain on paper towels to absorb any extra oil. Feel free to do a little happy dance while waiting for them to cool.
Now that you have your very own batch of Mom’s Papdi No Lot, it’s time to grab a plate (or cut off one corner of the kitchen table—no judgment here) and enjoy! Remember, sharing is caring, but when it comes to snacks, use caution. These might just disappear faster than you can say “yum!”
