Papadams— the best cooking method

Although they are best fried, it’s not too good for your waistline.

An alternative is to pass it over open flame for 30 or so seconds till it is cooked. If you like spicy food then this is the best option for you. This cooking method enhances the spiciness of the papadams. Watch out though, I’ve burnt a lot of papadam using this method. It cooks fast! Don’t do anything else if you’re roasting over open flame.

Another alternative is to cook it in the microwave, on low for 2 to 2:20 minutes.
It’s low fat, not too spicy and perfectly crispy.

So the microwave wins!
