- Suggestion- Assemble the chaat whenever you are going to serve it because the chutney and the potato mixture and make the papad soggy. For this particular dish , please buy a small sized papad size similar to tortilla chips or if you do not find papad of that size , I would recommend going for traditional chaat "puris" available at Indian grocery stores.
