Bon Appétit BREAD
RECIPE NAME:  COOKING PAPPADAMS
RECIPE BY: BON APPETIT!
SERVING SIZE: 12
PREPARATION TIME: Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less
 Pappadams, Indian wafers usually made from lentils, can be fried or broiled.  When fried they become bubbly and more enlarged than when broiled.  To maintain crispness, pappadams should be served within 1 hour of being cooked.
 
  • You must buy the pappadams first at the store. Available at East Indian markets, some specialty foods shops.
  • 12 sun-dried pappadams in assorted flavors such as tandoori and Madras-apiced.
  • About 5 cups vegetable oil if frying.
  • To fry pappadams, in a heavy kettle heat 1 1/2 inches oil over moderate heat until it registers 365F on a deep fat thermometer and fry pappadams until crisp and golden, 2 or 3 seconds.  With tongs transfer pappadams to paper towels to drain briefly.
  • To broil pappadams, broil pappadams 4 to 6 inches from heat until they bubble and become opaque, about 10 seconds on each side.
