Quick papdi chaat

There are times when I get this sudden cravings for chaat. And yesterday was one of those days. The craving got stronger when I saw the remaining papdis in my pantry. I couldn't rest until I found a way to use up those papdis. 

Actually, this recipe is inspired from Tarla dalal's recipe book called "Desi Khana". But I have altered the recipe quite a bit as I did not have all the ingredients mentioned in the recipe. Even with all the changes, the chaat came out very well. And it was great treat for me, my husband my my lil girl as well. So here goes the recipe
