Recipe Introduction


submitted by dave
from PA, US
NOTE: To make papadam from scratch is not easy. Its
suggested that you buy them ready made from a nearby
Indian store and either zap them in a microwave, fry them in oil or just plain roast over a low flame.

List of Ingredients




1 kg urad dal (lentil)
100 gm salt
50 gm pepper
1/2 tsp asafeotida
500 gm water

Recipe



Mix the asafeotida and pepper with the urad daal flour. Lightly roast the salt. Boil 500 grams water with the salt. Let it cool to room temperature. Pour this water, a little at a time, in the urad daal flour mixture and make a
very stiff (hard) dough.
Put this dough in a big mortar and pestle. Pound the pestle on the dough in the mortar until it has elastic-like consistency. Test it by rolling out a small piece.
Divide the dough into 6 parts. Roll them out on a board and cut it into 1 inch pieces. Then put all the pieces in a bowl and cover the bowl.
Taking one piece at a time, roll them out on an aluminum rolling board. Put them in direct sunlight to dry.
Once they are dry and crispy, store them in an air tight
container. To serve them, zap them in a microwave, or fry them in oil or roast them on a low flame.
Serve with cilantro or mint chutney.
