Chaat’s has always been one of my favourite crunchy snacks to eat, especially papri. Today I’ll be preparing my papri chaat with a little twist. Well, you can say I’m bringing traditional and modern way of food into one in this recipe, I’ll be making papri cone shots. Mixing in the way to make chaat, shots and ice cream cone in one.
