Dahi Papdi chaat is very easy and quick to prepare at home, if papdi and chutneys are handy. You can use homemade Papdi for this recipe or you can use store-bought papdi too, if you have time constraint. The way I prepared yogurt in this recipe, even if you do not have sweet tamarind chutney, this chaat will taste good. In place of boiled black chickpeas, you can use boiled white chickpeas or boiled moong dal or sprouted moong dal.

Tips:

Always use fresh papdi, else the chaat will not taste good.
Adjust the amount of curd as per your taste. However, it tastes great with a generous amount of curd.
You can use plain beaten curd also, but for street style flavour add sugar and black salt to it.
Curd has to be beaten thoroughly for smooth dahi, to be poured over the chaat.
Garnishing with pomegranate is optional, you can also garnish with finely chopped tomatoes.
Dahi Papdi Chaat tastes great, when served immediately.
