Serves 2-3
Inspired from Nita Mehta
Ingredients:
4 medium sized papads (roasting ones) - cut each into 4 pieces with a pair of scissors

Salsa - I used Corn Salsa(any type of salsa) - Recipe below

Lettuce leaves - a few, washed, pat-dried and torn into 2” pieces

Vegetables:
Cucumber - 1/4 cup finely chopped
Cabbage - 1/4 cup finely chopped

Carrot  - 1/4 cup grated

Capsicum - 1/4 cup chopped finely

Salt - 1/4 tsp or to taste
Pepper - 1/2 tsp or to taste

Sour Cream:

Sour Cream - 1/4 cup or Fresh thick curd - 1/2 cup (100 gm) hang for 30 minutes in a muslin cloth

Salt - a pinch or to taste
Pepper - a pinch or to taste

Coriander leaves - 1 tbspn chopped
Green chili -  1/2, deseeded and chopped

Method:

Mix all the ingredients of sour cream.

Roast each piece of papad. Immediately fold the hot papad on the edges to make a cone shape. Leave aside to cool and to become crisp. You can do this well in advance and store in an air tight tin.

Mix the vegetables with sour cream to make salad. Check for the salt and pepper. Keep in a separate bowl. Put the salsa in another bowl.

At serving time, place a lettuce leaf on the papad, fill it with some salad, top with salsa. Serve immediately.
