How To Make Papad Ki Sabzi | Popular Rajasthani Recipe

Jump to Recipe
Total Time: 15 minutes

Papad ki sabzi is a very popular Rajasthani Recipe. Papad is the Indian idea of wafers. It is an extremely healthy food that you can have as much as you want and your health will never complain. Papad is thin disks made of mainly lentils and a selection of spices. You can fry it in oil, or toast in tawa, or even microwave it for a few seconds; it will turn crispy just like wafers. You can use cooking scissors, to cut out small triangles from the round disk, and serve as crackers with salads.

There are some other lunch an dinner sabzi recipes such as Dum Aloo, Mixed Vegetable, Paneer Butter Masala, Turai Chana Dal and Papad Mangodi Kadhi(Curry)

The Traditional Rajasthani cuisine however, takes this as the main ingredient to make a curry. Papad ki sabzi is widely eaten in Rajasthan as a summer food for lunch and dinner, which is light and healthy and a good substitute for the lack of green vegetables during summertime, in the arid dessert zone. This, and “Gatte Ki Sabzi” is a common snack-turned curry, vegetarian/vegan dish, that is served as a main course food, with rice or roti.

Today, I am sharing this highly popular recipe, of Papad ki Sabzi, which is very simple to make, and good to taste. I know it might contradict with a lot of people’s habituation with papad, but you have to try it once, to change your perception.

I knew about this recipe for long, but don’t know why never made it before. I recently saw it somewhere in the internet, and cooked it, bit skeptically, out of curiosity. Nevertheless, it is an unusual recipe for my family, most significantly because it contradicts the habituation of “crunchy” papad, turning into a soft vegetable. We are so used of the crunch of papads and widely had it as an accompaniment with lentil and rice, and other meals, but never had it this way.

Anyways, I remember the day when I first made a very small quantity of Papad ki Sabzi, unbeknownst of how it will taste, and asked my husband to try some with plain rice. He really loved it, though we discovered we like it more with roti. And not just my husband, my kids love it too. This dish is similar in texture to that of noodle soup, in a completely Indian taste though.

Papad seems to be a very simple thing, and a part of daily meal plan in the Indian household. As more than 50% of Indians are vegetarians, things like papad, gatta and even soybean makes an incredible grocery item, which has a long shelf life. Attending lifestyle fairs, which is a common thing in Kolkata, is never complete without buying some mukhwaas and papad.

Serve this recipe with roti, paratha or rice
