Papadum
Crispy, thin lentil crackers that are a popular accompaniment to Indian meals or enjoyed as a standalone snack. They can be prepared by frying, roasting over an open flame, or microwaving.
đ§ Ingredienser
- 8 Papad (or Papadum)(Choose from various lentil or rice-based papads available at Indian grocery stores.)
- 1-2 cups Vegetable oil or Ghee(For deep frying (optional, if not roasting or microwaving). Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point.)

Prepare your chosen cooking method. For frying, heat oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium-high heat until shimmering. For roasting, have a gas burner or open flame ready. For microwaving, ensure your microwave-safe plate is clean.
â±ïž 1 minute - 2
To Fry: Carefully lower one papad into the hot oil using tongs. It will puff up almost immediately. Fry for about 15-30 seconds, flipping once, until lightly golden and crispy. Do not overcook, as it can burn quickly. Remove with tongs, letting excess oil drip back into the pan.

To Roast: Hold a papad directly over a medium gas flame or under a broiler using tongs. Rotate it continuously. It will puff and char slightly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until crisp and lightly speckled with brown. Be vigilant to prevent burning.

To Microwave: Place one papad on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds. The time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage. Watch closely; it should puff up and become crisp. If not fully cooked, microwave in 10-second intervals.

đĄ Proffstips
- âPapad burns very quickly, especially when frying or roasting over direct flame. Keep a close eye and be ready to remove it promptly.
- âRoasting over an open flame or microwaving are generally considered healthier options as they require little to no oil.
- âPapad is an essential and beloved accompaniment to many Indian meals, particularly with dal (lentils) and rice.
- âEnsure oil is at the correct temperature for frying; too cool and the papad will absorb too much oil, too hot and it will burn before puffing.
