Making Dough for Pappad                                      

• Filter 2 cups of urad dal flour through a sieve into a bowl. Then stir in 1 teaspoon cumin and 1.5 teaspoon coarsely powdered black pepper.
• Now, add ¾ teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoon papad khar in 34 cup lukewarm water. As you create the dough for the poori, knead the stiff dough by gradually adding this water.
• After kneading, take a small amount of ghee in your hand and lightly mash it. Cover it and leave it for 30 minutes.

Making the papad

• When the timer goes off, take a small amount of ghee in your hand and mash it for 2 minutes. Divide the dough into two halves and cover one. Soften half of the portion by twisting and turning for 5-6 minutes. Make it soft by pulling it with your hands after kneading.
• Then roll some ghee in your hand. Cut it in half, then roll it into little equal balls. After cutting the balls, brush them with ghee to prevent them from sticking together. Roll and cut the remaining dough into balls in the same manner. Always keep them covered.
• Take a ball and roll it thinly in urad dal dry flour. You can make it as large or as small as you wish. Place all of the papads on a dish and roll them in the same way. After rolling the papad, dry it individually on a cloth. For 15 to 20 minutes, air must be applied from both sides. After getting air in both directions, combine them and store them in the container.
• Then, dry them for 15-20 minutes on both sides in the sun. Spread the fabric out and arrange them on it; once done, store them in a container and consume them for a year. The papads will be prepared in this manner.

Frying the Papad

• Heat the oil in a pan, then add the papads and fry them. Roast it from both sides, then fry the rest in the same manner.
• If you don't want to eat greased papad, you can roast it on the stovetop by turning it over.
• Also, brush some oil on the papad before placing it in the microwave to roast. Bake for 30 seconds, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.

In this way, you can enjoy the taste of papad by roasting it in a pan, on the stove, or in the microwave.
