Equipment

  • 25 cm (10 inch) frying pan
  • slotted spoon
  • Large platter lined with kitchen paper

Ingredients

  • 10 pappadums or papars
  • Oil for deep-frying enough to fill 5 cm or 2 inches in the frying pan

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Once hot, add one pappadum to the oil.
  • It should sizzle and expand immediately.
  • If it doesn’t, your oil isn’t hot enough.
  • Turn the pappadum over, leave it for a few seconds, and remove it with a slotted spoon.
  • Place it on a platter lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Continue frying the remaining pappadums one at a time, ensuring the oil is hot enough for each one.
  • If the pappadums start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat as the oil is too hot.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with drinks.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Serving Tip:
Serve with chutneys or dips as a flavorful snack or appetizer for a cocktail party.
Wine Advice:
Pair with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a light beer to balance the crispy texture and light spiciness of the pappadums.
