I have tested this khichiya papad in Mumbai itself. I think the papad they Make is different than our regular homemade rice flour khichiya papad. I want to know the recipe of that khichiya papad, because they are bit thicker and also taste totally different than regular khichiya papad. Can you please provide the same recipe?

I love roadside masala khichiya papad. I tried this recipe and i am totally satisfied with it. The basic veggies like cabbage, onion, tomatoes and cucumber, along with some garlic chutney and green chutney is amazing. They taste awesome. Cooking the papad on a medium flame is very important. The sev adds an additional taste to this masala khichya papad definitely.
