Khichiya papad which is also called sarevda, papdi, chokha no papad is a staple in our homes. We pair them along with Khichdi, or Gujarati food often. When I moved to USA, lot of my friends would snack on these every day. It was a staple in their homes . Today let me take you back to streets of Mumbai where they make amazing Masala Khichiya. If you haven’t tried it, I would say it’s a must try and can also be served as an appetizer for Diwali or holiday parties.

Masala Khichiya Papad

Masala khichiya was part of my childhood when growing up in Mumbai. The rice flour papad goes so well as a chaat. Crispy papad layered with chutneys, tomatoes, onions and sev is just that perfect snack you will want to eat at any time of the day. It’s an easy make ahead recipe. Simply roast the Khichiya and prep the veggies and chutneys ahead of time and assemble right before serving. I plan to serve this as an appetizer or starter for Diwali party or Thanksgiving party this year. Checkout the recipe below
