SAATPADI ( SEVEN LAYERED SNACK)

Festive mood is on & all Indian women tie their apron & run in a cooking marathon. We stop counting calories, when are in festive mood. Fried snacks, sweets, deserts, hot & fresh snacks & what not.
Saatpadi puri is seven layered fried crispy Indian bread. These crisp beauties are my favourite from childhood. Though being health & calorie conscious made this Saatpadi after ages. But it turned out to be good.
