Chotpoti is a truly special dish on our menu, inherited from Bangladeshi street food: chickpeas simmered with spices, mixed with egg, cucumber, tomato and fresh coriander, lifted with a tangy touch of tamarind, rolled and wrapped in a crispy papadam. Medium spicy, this dish surprises with its unique blend of textures and flavours, between crunchy, melting and tangy.
A dish with a story
Chotpoti is an essential Bangladeshi street food, particularly popular in Dhaka, eaten for generations as a street snack.
Traditionally made with chickpeas and potatoes, it’s often sold by street vendors in small clay bowls.
Our version at Papadam reinvents it by rolling it in a crispy papadam, for a presentation better suited to table service.
Traditional chotpoti is usually eaten from a bowl, not rolled in a papadam: our version is a deliberate house adaptation of this street classic.
