Instructions
 

For Basket Puri:

  • Make a dough with Basket Puri ingredients.
    3/4 cup Plain flour, 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, a pinch salt, water
  • Roll out around 10-12 cms puri by placing them in between Plastic sheets. With this we can avoid puris sticking to our rolling pin and also texture of puri will be smooth.
  • Roll out this circles/puris as thin as possible. More thinner Puris are, more crispier tastes you will get.
  • Take a tart mold and invert it upside down. Place rolled out puri on it and gently press it so that puri takes tart shape.
  • Remove unnecessary dough from this tart and keep it aside.
  • Take another tart and repeat the procedure, once done Stack it above our first tart.
  • You can stack around 3-4 tarts at a time.
  • In a pan take Oil for frying and fry stacked puris as it is.

For Basket Chat:

  • Take serving plates. Place 7-10 basket puris (as per the plate size) in each plate.
  • Fill each scoop with little boiled potatoes, boiled pulses followed by onion.
    1/2 cup boiled mixed pulses, 1 boiled potato, 1 chopped medium onion
  • Sprinkle salt and chat masala.
    salt, 1 tsp chaat masala
  • Add green chutney and khajur chutney (since I like it spicy, and I prepare the green chutney very spicy – so I prefer only green chutney) to taste.
    green chutney, khajoor chutney
  • Then top it with little yogurt. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and sev.
    curd, fresh coriander, sev

Notes

Add the wet ingredients just before serving, otherwise the crispness of Baskets goes off. You can always change the dry ingredients sequence, but it should be added first.
