Recipe Notes
-In this recipe I used store-bought boondi and phulki from United King and it tasted amazing.
-When using store-bought phulki, make sure to soak it in warm water for at least 20 minutes or the phulkis will be hard from inside and your entire dish will be ruined.
-Make sure to buy and use good quality chaat masala as the taste will change drastically. I use Shaan Chaat Masala in this recipe.
-You can always make the phulki ahead and freeze it without dipping it in water.
