Vrat ki papdi chaat is a crunchy and deep-fried snack made with kuttu flour or buckwheat flour which is eaten during fasting or vrat.
This is a gluten-free snack and I am sharing a baked version, so healthy as well.
To make chat use any vegan curd and it will make a delicious vegan chat recipe.
Vrat ki papdi is again a different style of eating to break the monotony of traditional fasting food.

kuttu papdi chat is a tangy, savory snack with tamarind chutney, green chutney, and curd.
Sprinkled cumin seed powder and red chili powder (if allowed in fasting) and served at room temperature.
