Ingredients

FOR VEGGIE MIX (makes 3 papads)

1/2 cup tomatoes finely chopped
1/2 cup red onions finely chopped
2 green chilies finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh cilantro finely chopped
1/2 tsp Kashmiri chili powder
1/2 tsp chat masala

TO ASSEMBLE 1 MASALA PAPAD

1 jeera (cumin) papad I like Lijjat brand
2-3 tbsp whole milk yogurt mix well
1 tbsp cilantro chutney
2-3 spoonfuls of veggie mix
1 tsp tamarind chutney
sprinkle of chat masala

Instructions

Mix Veggies - In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, onions, green chilies, cilantro, chat masala, and Kashmiri chili powder. Mix well. Adjust seasonings as needed. Set aside.
Cook Papad - Add a jeera papad on a tawa and cook on medium heat. You don't need any oil for this. Flip and cook on both sides. The papad will start to crisp up. Once done, transfer to a plate.
Add Toppings - Top the papad with a couple of dollops of yogurt followed by cilantro chutney. Next, add your veggie mixture and spread evenly. Drizzle some tamarind chutney and a light sprinkle of chat masala. Use a knife and gently cut into fours. Serve immediately else the masala papad will get soggy.

Notes

Vegan - Use non-dairy yogurt or skip the yogurt.
Finely Chop Veggies - Make sure to finely chop the veggies for the best results.
Serve Immediately - Once you prepare your masala papad, serve it immediately else it will get soggy with the yogurt and chutneys.
