Masala Papad
The Five-Minute Snack Before the Meal
🌱 Beginner🥟 Snack & Street Food🌿 Vegan⚡ 7 min
A roasted papad topped with raw vegetables and Chaat Masala. In Indian restaurants it's on the table before you've even ordered — and at home it's the fastest way to make something out of nothing.
🌱 Beginner: Nothing here can go wrong. If you can boil pasta, you can cook this.

- Hold the papad directly over the gas flame, moving it constantly with tongs until it puffs and turns pale — 20–30 seconds per side. Without gas: 30–40 seconds in the microwave.
- Mix the vegetables, chili, and coriander together.
- Pile onto the papad only right before serving, sprinkle with Chaat Masala, and squeeze lime over the top.
Tips
- The papad goes soft the instant the wet vegetables land on it. Top it at the table, not in the kitchen.
- Don't deep-fry it — roasted is lighter and tastes more of lentil than of oil.
