Imagine crispy papad cones standing tall, each proudly showcasing a different color – saffron, white, and green. Each bite is a symphony of textures and tangs, a delightful melange of sweet, spicy, crunchy, and creamy.

Why Papad Cones?

Papad, those thin lentil wafers, are a ubiquitous element in Indian cuisine. They add a delightful crunch to dals, curries, and even salads. But their versatility extends far beyond being a humble garnish. When gently heated, papad become pliable and can be molded into various shapes. Papad cones are a clever and fun way to elevate the humble papad to a festive centerpiece.

The Tricolour Trio

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. You only need three main components to create the stunning tricolour effect:

  • Grated carrots: These papad cones  get saffron color from the precious saffron carrots. Its delicate sweetness is a perfect element of the chaat.
  • Spiced Yogurt: Spiced yogurt adds a cool and creamy counterpoint to the crunchy papad cones. Cumin powder chaat masala and salt is added to yogurt to make tangy flavor also helps to balance the sweetness of the carrot
  • Chopped coriander leaves: Vibrant green Coriander leaves infuses the chaat with a refreshing herbaceousness. Adds a beautiful green colour representing the Indian tricolour.
  • Sev Filling : This forms the base of the chaat . Adding chopped onions, date chutney , lemon juice makes a yummy filling in these crispy papad cones.

Assembling the Symphony of Flavors

  1. Mold the Papad Cones: Heat a flat pan or tawa. Gently warm the papad till pliable but not brittle. Quickly roll them into cones and secure with a toothpick or a dab of water. Let them cool and harden.
  2. Prepare the Sev filling : Add Chopped onion, date chutney and lemon juice to Sev and mix well. Don't forget to adjust the spice level to your preference.
  3. Grate Carrot , chop Coriander leaves and make a spiced yogurt.
  4. Fill the Cones: Spoon in Sev filling followed by a spoonful of Grated carrots , dollop of spiced yogurt and a spoonful of Coriander leaves.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with some tamarind chutney for an extra tangy touch if needed Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful symphony of flavors in each bite!

Tips and Variations

Eggless Brazilian Cheese Bread

Pao de Queijo (pronounced as pown -deh- kay-zho) aka Brazilian Cheese Bread is a small baked cheese bun, a popular snack and breakfast food that originated in the state Minas Gerais of Brazil.

Inspired by this YouTube video by Something Dave and I gave it a try as it was an eggless version.These came out so well. These are super simple and easy to make with just five ingredients. A must try because they are gluten-free, contain no yeast, no baking powder, yet so soft and cheesy😋 I had never tried baking with tapioca flour...and found it so interesting to bake with. The dough is too sticky and you will need some extra flour to be dusted to make balls out of it. I have used plant-based pa...
