Papads or Papadams is an example of the genius of Indian cuisine.
Roasting North Indian papads
1. The pappadam is held between tongs and roasted evenly over an open gas flame. The whole process should not take more than 30 seconds. Quick and frequent turning is required to prevent burning. As soon as papad has changed color, curled up and become crisp, it is done. This will require some practice with timing the turns and the intensity of the heat as papads burn up so quickly.
2. If you are working with an electrical range - use a wok bottom to hold a grill away from the coils. Place the papad on the grill and turn it as each side gets done. Put the heat to medium high and repeat the above process.
Microwave cooking
Place a papad in the microwave oven and cook on high for 15 seconds. Stop flip cook for 15 more seconds. If your microwave has less power increase the time from 15 seconds to 20 seconds and upto 30 seconds on each side
