    Tortilla Cups with Tangy Filling

    March 30, 2011 by Kankana Saxena

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    We both like to eat some light snacks in the evening. Something that can be paired with ginger tea or coffee followed by a light dinner later in the night. The habit of eating snacks with evening tea is very common in India. It would mostly be something savory, like fritters or something deep fried. I never had the habit of making snacks back in India. By the time I reached home, it would be time for dinner followed by some pending work to finish.

    However, it's been different since the time I moved to US and became a full time home maker. You will notice that I have quite a few snack items in my recipe index 🙂 I am always in hunt of snack recipes and at times, I try to come up with some new ideas. I avoid deep fried stuff these days because i'm trying to get back in shape... you know, time to get back in summer clothes. No more jackets or sweaters to cover those guilt calories 😀


    Last evening, I was craving for Papri chat - an Indian favorite fast food/road side snack. Papri refers to crispy fried dough wafers made from refined white flour and oil. I was feeling too lazy to knead and then again, it would be deep fried! So, I decided to give my own twist and enjoy papri chat with tortilla bread. I cannot call it papri chat or even compare it with papri chat. But, all in all, it was a great light snack which could also be enjoyed as an appetizer .
