Satpadi is a traditional Indian Diwali snack made by my grandmother every year. The crisp and delicious 7 layered puri is everyone’s all-time favourite. It’s perfect with a cup of chai.
The recipe is simple but requires practice and technique to get layers right.
Make sure you roll out the satpadi’s very lightly to avoid breaking the layers and fry them at a slow temperature.
