Tortilla Cups with Tangy Filling

by

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 .

    Fantastic! I love those tortilla cups and the fact that this snack is not fried. I am sure it taste great (I am a big fan of any tangy savory dish with yogurt!).

  15. Yummychunklet

    What a creative and different snack! I'm so used to snacking on tortilla chips with salsa so this should be a nice change.

  16. Priti

  17. Treat and Trick

    Such a healthy and yummy snack! Great idea to bake instead of frying them...

  18. Raji

    WOW..this is a great fusion recipe...wonderful idea of using tortilla's instead of regular papdi's. Got to make these.

  19. Anzelle @ Scrambledpancakes

    This looks great, something different from the snacks I ususally make. I'd just like to ask about the bhujia: is there something I can use instead of it? There aren't really any Indian stores around here, and I've never seen anything like it anywhere else either.

  20. cakewhiz

    These are almost too pretty to eat! And I agree with you... they would make a superb snack 😀
    And i had proper papri chat for the first time in India last year and boy oh boy do i miss it! Papri chats here in desi restaurnats are just icky!:S
