About This Dish
Dahi Papari (Dahi Papdi Chaat) is Delhi's quintessential street-food chaat — a layer of crispy semolina wafers topped with boiled potatoes, chickpeas, spiced yogurt, tangy tamarind chutney, green mint chutney, and a sprinkle of chaat masala and sev.
The magic is in the contrast: crispy wafers meeting cool creamy yogurt, sweet tamarind playing against spicy mint, all unified by the magical seasoning of chaat masala. At SPICE ROOM, we assemble each plate to order so the papdi stays crispy until the first bite. A refreshing, addictive starter that showcases the genius of Indian street food.
