Papri chat or papri chaat (ISO: pāpṛī cāṭ) is a popular traditional fast food and street food from the Indian subcontinent, in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and parts of Pakistan.

[4][5] Papri chaat is traditionally prepared using crisp fried dough wafers known as papri, along with boiled chickpeas, boiled potatoes, dahi (yogurt) and tamarind chutney[1][6] and topped with chat masala and sev.

[1][7] The papri are typically prepared with refined wheat flour (maida) and ghee or oil.

The dish has sweet, sour, tangy and spicy flavors and a creamy and crunchy texture.

[1] A recipe for papri (as purika) is mentioned in Manasollasa, a 12th-century Sanskrit encyclopedia compiled by Someshvara III, who ruled from present-day Karnataka.
