Papri chat or papri chaat (ISO: pāpṛī cāṭ) is a popular traditional fast food and street food from the Indian subcontinent, probably in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.^[1]^[2]^[3] Many various additional dishes throughout India are also referred to as papri chat.^[1] Some restaurants in the United States serve the traditional version of the dish.^[4]^[5]

Preparation[edit]

Papri chaat is traditionally prepared using crisp fried dough wafers known as papri, along with boiled chick peas, boiled potatoes, dahi (yogurt) and tamarind chutney^[1]^[6] and topped with chat masala and sev.^[1]^[7] The papri are typically prepared with refined white flour and ghee or oil.^[8]^[9] Mint,^[6] cilantro^[10] and spices^[11] may also be used. The dish has sweet, sour, tangy and spicy flavors and a creamy and crunchy texture.^[1]^[6]

Etymology[edit]

Papri refers to the wafers, and the word chaat is derived from Sanskrit verb caṭ means tasting with a fingertip and represents the sound made; thereby, it refers to several fast food dishes and snacks. Chaat is a thick cream in Hindi.^[1] The term also refers to a variety of dishes in India.^[1]

A recipe for papri (as purika) is mentioned in Manasollasa, a 12th-century Sanskrit encyclopedia compiled by Someshvara III, who ruled from present-day Karnataka.^[12]

Street food[edit]

Papri chaat is often purveyed and consumed at mobile food stalls in India.^[6] In India, it is more popular in the northern region of the country compared to other areas.^[11]
