Papadam – All Time Favourite Indian Keropok (Crispy Cracker)

A packet of raw papadam...............................How it looks like inside I get to eat all of the papadam that cannot go in to the container! Everyone loves the papadam (papadum) and it is a must have whenever you are eating nasi kandar at the mamak(Indian Muslim) stall. The basic ingredients for making the papadam are urid flour, salt, rice flour, oil and jeera seeds. . In Tamil it is known as pappaṭām and in Telegu as Appadam. I bought this packet of uncooked papadam from the local store. A pack of 120gms padadam is enough to fill up a large Tupperware after it is deep fried in hot oil. Some other types of papadam are actually toasted in fire and are thicker than the one found commercially. Yummy…..going to eat my papadam now………crunch crunch…..
