Lower Parel eatery's 3 masala papads that make perfect bar snacks

Murugan Papad

Starting today, if you visit The Bombay Canteen for an after-work drink or dinner, you'll find Brijnath Papad and Murugan Papad staring coolly at you from the menu.

From next week, Rani Papad will join in the fun as well. And this isn't just a regular masala papad that comes topped with spicy-tangy chopped onions, tomatoes and green chillies.

The thin and crunchy discs will appear with toppings like baingan bharta (roasted aubergine mash) and chicken tikka too. "Masala papads are among the most widely recognised Indian bar snacks, across the country. But the possibilities of the toppings are endless. We wanted to take inspiration from the quintessential chakna and give it our own twist with a constantly changing menu of various India-

inspired toppings," says Sameer Seth, CEO and partner at the Lower Parel haute spot. The guests can also check out an installation, inspired by the papadwallahs who roam the city streets, featuring a street cart showcasing how the varieties are made.

AVAILABLE FROM: Today (Rani Papad from next week); 7.30 pm onwards (available only during dinner service)
