Faux Dahi Papdi Chaat

Wanting a quick snack over the weekend, I decided to put the rather large bag of baked Pita chips that my husband got from Costco, to use.... We had some of it plain, some with hummus but lately we had been ignoring it... so an idea to use those chips instead of the regular papdis came into my mind... They were crunchy and sturdy so would be a perfect replacement. Having store bought tamarind date chutney and green chutney in the fridge always makes snacks like these a breeze... I boiled a few potatoes and had some cooked white peas (vatana) after making ragda patties so used that but a can of chickpeas would also work... Another good substitute for the papdi would be tortillas cut into circles (with a cookie cutter) and baked in an oven for about 10-15 mins till crisp.
