Play with your food: Pac-Man Papadums

Lol, I thought i was common knowledge how to make papads. Use the Lijjat (Pink Bunny) ones, they are made in Mumbai (my town :D) by improverished women (non profit organisation.) See if you can add a little "do you daily good" part in there.

Rgds.

I think that it is common knowledge among a certain fraction of the population. For the rest of us, it's (tasty) knowledge to be gained.

Thanks for the information about that brand!

Dude... the way of cooking the papadams were bloody unhealthy!

Use your thongs to hold them above the fire... less burns, less blackish stuff

Thongs?
We happen to like food that is a little bit charred on the edges. The ones shown here are particularly well burnt because areas where features are cut are particularly vulnerable to fire. In any case, I expect that it's still not quite as unhealthy as deep frying them.

I must say that I've been amazed at the number of different opinions that have been voiced about how papadums are supposed to be cooked. It looks to me as though there is more than one correct answer. This evening, we went out to dinner at a place where the papadums were deep fried... those were pretty good too!

just pop them in the microwave, 1 minute per side.

We mentioned that in the article as one of the ways that they are cooked. There are other valid ways to cook them as well; I happen to prefer the flavor when they are flame roasted, and some people prefer deep fried.
