  1. Take all purpose flour, rava, baking powder, salt, carom seeds and vegetable shortening in mixing bowl.
  2. Mix all ingredients very well using your palm till it gets a crumbled texture.
  3. Add water, little by little, and make a tight dough. Once it’s done, cover it and keep it aside for 15 minutes.
  4. After 15 minutes, knead the dough till it gets smooth.
  5. Divide the dough in three equal dough size balls. Take one dough ball on the rolling board. Keep the other dough balls covered.
  6. Roll it into a little thick round circle. Cut it using a medium size cookie cutter. Follow the same process with the remaining dough balls. Keep the small dough poori covered.
  7. Take one poori and roll it again, using a rolling pin, into thin round poori. Fork it by poking it with a fork all over. To make mini papdi baskets use tin mini tart molds. You can make it in batches based on how many molds you have.
  8. Mold the dough in the tin mini tart mold and press it using your finger. Place another mold over it. If you have six molds you can make three papdis at a time.
  9. Heat oil in kadhai or frying pan at medium to high heat. Once it’s hot, bring the temperature to low-medium heat. Place the basket along with the mold in the hot oil. Pour some hot oil into the tin mold as shown. Periodically push the upper tin mold down so that the basket gets proper shape before it pops out from the mold.
  10. After about 30 seconds, flip the mold and fry for another 30 sec.
  11. During the frying process the baskets will slowly start to leave the mold; slowly remove the mold using tong and keep it aside.
  12. Fry the mini papdi basket from both side till it has a golden brown color. Once the mold gets cold, start making the next batch.

Recipe Notes

To bake the papdi basket: Take a cupcake mold and arrange the rolled poori in the mold in the shape of cup/basket. Preheat the oven to 250 degree F. Bake the baskets for about 25-30 minutes. It should get slightly golden color. Keep an eye so that it does not get burnt. If you don’t have cupcake mold you can use the same tin mold however you don’t need the second mold on top of first one for baking. You can refer to Shrikhand tart recipe for the baking process.
