How to make Poppadoms?

Step 1

Heat oil in a wok or a deep pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add a piece of papad to check if the oil is hot enough. If it puffs up quickly, I know the oil is hot enough to cook the remaining ones.

Step 3

Slide 1 papad at a time to the heated oil. The poppadoms will quickly spread and curl up in the edges. Gently press the edges and middle down to ensure they cook properly. The papadum will cook in 10 -12 seconds.

Step 4

Remove the fried poppadum with the tongs and place it on a kitchen paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

Step 5

Serve with Indian Mint Sauce, Tamarind Chutney and Raita.

Step 6

Place the Papad / Papadam on a microwave safe plate. Microwave for 40 seconds - 60 seconds. Once you see they have cooked well, transfer it to a serving platter. Enjoy Oil free Poppadoms.

Step 7

Place the Papad in the Air fryer Basket. Air fry at 200 C for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Hold the papad with tongs. Roast them on flame or grill until you see them crisp up.
