Shallow fried Papad

An often order starter dish in India is Masala papad :) Another snack what we all miss abroad :) 
Here I am giving a method to fry papad without deep frying it :) Also you can give different shapes to papads :) which makes it more interesting.


Ingredients:
Urad daal papad ( Lijjat or any available brand)
few table spoons of oil


Procedure: 

1. Heat up Tava.
2. Once Tava is hot enough,spread a table spoon of oil on Tava equally. In a round motion. So that all the sides will be roasted well.
3. Put the papad on Tava. Using a spatula type spoon with which  you can put pressure on papad well  press papad equally from all the sides making sure papad is roasted all places.
4. You will find few places are not getting roasted well. Flip the papad. Roast again.
5. Apply oil with spoon if you see oil is totally absorbed. Just apply oil dont sprinkle.
6. Once it is roasted full. Fold it with hands carefully. Papad is soft right now so you can give any shape. Once it cools down, it will become crispy retaining the shape you gave:)

Enjoy!!!
