Butter(batar)Papdi chaat

I had made this butter papdi chaat many weeks ago,but was unable to post it because i wanted to “Google ” info regarding BUTTER.Now don’t confuse it with Butter ,a dairy product made from milk or cream,that we normally use as a spread or condiment(Amul or Mother dairy).

These BUTTER (or maybe batar) are the baked ,hard buns/toast,circular in shape,and not sweet. I was unable to find any information about that,so i will be glad if somebody could enlighten me about ,what it is called in other languages and how they are made

For now ,let me give you a clue on how does these look…….here is the picture of butter

This BUTTER papdi chaat is very famous around the place i live and Sindhis could be seen relishing this chaat at every chaatwalla stall(Thela)

Once you are able to grab some Butter(which are easily available at bakeries atleast in Mumbai),this a very simple chaat to assemble.It is almost same as sevpuri ,with only the variations,that in sevpuri ,unpuffed or puffed puris are used ,whereas here butter are used.And also amount of tangy chutney used in butter papdi is more.I mean butter papdi is almost immersed in chutney

As sevpuri,these too tend to become soggy pretty fast ,so gulp it down the moment you assemble it

Ingredients:

• Butter 5 (you can use as many are required)
• Papdi two handfuls
• Onion 1
• Potato 1
• Coriander leaves for garnishing
• Tamarind chutney 1 small cup
• Sev(optional) a handful
• Salt just a pinch or two
• Chaat masala powder few pinches(optional)
• Red chilly powder to sprinkle

Method:

• Boil,peel and chop potato into small chunks
• Peel and chop onion very finely
• Make tamarind chutney .You can find the recipe here
• In a serving plate ,place the butter with porous side upward
• Spread some potato,onion,crushed papdi,sev and sprinkle some salt and chilly powder(chaat masala too… if you have some)
• Now pour some chutney over it,actually the butter should be half immersed in chutney,but i prefer this chaat to be bit dry
• Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and relish immediately
