DONUT CHAT PAPRI (RAMAZAN SPECIAL)

DONUT CHAT PAPRI
(Doughnut Crakers)

Papri or Chat Papri is a popular side snack with evening Tea dishes in sub-continent.  It is crispy, saltish and sometimes spicy.

It is presumed to be a must with Chana Chat, Dahi Bara Chat and dishes like that. A very simple and easy cracker which is deep fried in oil and ready in minutes. Traditionally, it is always broken into small pieces and then sprinkled on the Chana Chat or Dahi Bara etc etc.

Papri is made from whole wheat, all purpose flour and by mashed lentils as well. It is famous for all type of street snacks and fast foods of Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh.

Papri is made in a small round shape bread or roti, from a bit harder dough, made up of normal Aata and one-fourth all purpose fine flour. I have never seen it in any other shape except for round one, though in the USA Crackers are made in different shapes, triangular, square and rectangular and there is use is similar to that of Papri in Pakistan. To make it a little different and more appealing, I tried to cut it in Doughnut shape with a Doughnut Cutter and I think the result is really appealing and eye catching.

It use increases during the month of Ramazan at the time of breaking the whole day fast at Iftar with regular and special chana chat, dahibara chat etc, nearly in every household

So let us start preparing our Doughnut Chat Papri with the name of ALLAH. 

INGREDIENTS WE NEED:

1. 2 Cups Aata (Ordinary Wheat Flour)
2. 1/2 Cup Maida (All Purpose Flour)
3. Salt to taste
4. 1 Teaspoon Carom Seeds
5. 1 Teaspoon Toasted and grounded Zeera (Cummin Seeds)
6. 1 Teaspoon Kali Mirch (Black Pepper) Powder

HOW WE WILL PREPARE OUR DOUGHNUT PAPRI:

• In a wide bowl mix together all the ingredients and mix it with a small amount of water at a time. 
• Knead this mixture to make a bit harder dough. Neither hard nor soft and must be in between both extremes.
• Roll it on a flat surface with Rolling Pin and make a thin flat Roti.
• Cut with aDoghnut Cutter or if you want to make them simply all round then do as you like.
• if you have no Doughnut Cutter, then use a Cup or Glass to cut a round shape and then with the help of a bottle cap cut a small hole in the center to make it Doughnut style.
• Deep Fry and put them on absorbent paper/tissue paper to get rid of excess oil and enjoy with your chat dishes.
• This Papri can be enjoyed simply without adding to any other dish.
