Some Tips/ Suggestions:

  1. Mathris can also be used in place of papris if you want to. The only difference between papris and mathris is that papris are not poked and they are thiner. You can also buy papris readymade - these are easily available in Indian stores
  2. Tamarind chutney can also be used instead of instant meethi chutney.
  3. Chole (cooked chickpeas) enhance the flavor of Papdi chaat. So I suggest making papdi chaat with them.
