If you haven’t tried this super cool hack of making papad into bowls, then let me have the pleasure of introducing it to you! It’s actually really easy to make and the possibilities of what to serve in it are endless. I like to do a twist on masala papad by loading these bowls up with masala peanuts (moongfalli chaat). The combination is just killer – spicy, chatpata and crunchy! 

These are perfect to serve if you’re hosting for Diwali this year because you can pass around these bowls to each guest (and watch them have the time of their life eating this!). It’s a super fun snack and I mean come on – who doesn’t like an edible katori chaat?

Make these papad bowls, add in the moongfalli chaat and serve immediately 🔥

Ingredients Overview

We’ll be using medium sized moong papads for the papad bowls and some boiled peanuts, finely chopped onions and tomatoes and some chatpata chat masala and spice powders for this recipe. Top it all off with a big squeeze of lemon!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this papad bowl with any type of papad? 

Only lijjat type of papads work well in this recipe and not the South Indian type of papad.

My papad bowl is breaking. What am I doing wrong?

The key is to mould the papad while it is still warm. As soon as it cools, it becomes crispy so you want to be quick! I also recommend using medium-sized papads and not the big ones for best results! 

Can I add any other type of chaat to these papad bowls?

Yep! Any crunchy veggie based salad or chaat can be added into these papad bowls. Just make sure it’s not loaded with chutneys or dressing because that will make the papad bowl soggy. My Moong Sprouts Salad would also be perfect here!
