Semolina papads are not only very light and crunchy to eat, but they are also very easy to make. Let us know the step-by-step recipe.

Ingredients

Semolina (Rava): 1 cup (finely chopped)

Water: 7 to 8 cups (7-8 times the amount of semolina)

Cumin: 1 tbsp

Chili Flakes (crushed red chilli): half teaspoon (optional)

Salt: As per taste (add little salt in papad as salt becomes strong after drying)

Papad Khar or Baking Soda: 1 pinch (to make the papad more fluffy)

Oil: 1 tbsp (for greasing polythene)

Method of preparation (Step-by-Step Recipe)

1. Prepare the solution: Pour 7-8 cups of water in a large and heavy bottomed pan and let it heat. When the water starts boiling lightly, add salt and cumin seeds to it.

2. Cook Semolina: Now reduce the flame of the gas and keep adding semolina with one hand and keep stirring with the other hand so that lumps do not form. Cook the semolina for 10-12 minutes while stirring continuously.

3. Check consistency: When the solution becomes thick and the semolina starts appearing transparent, then add chili flakes and soda in it and mix well. Turn off the gas and leave the solution covered for 5 minutes.

4. Spread papad: Spread a clean plastic sheet or polythene in the sun and grease it with some oil. Now take one tablespoon of solution and pour it on polythene and spread it in a light circle. Remember that do not spread the semolina papads too thinly, because after drying they themselves become thin.

5. Drying and Storing: Let these papads dry thoroughly in strong sunlight for 1-2 days. When they dry completely and become hard, store them in an airtight container. You can store these for a whole year.

Pro-Tips

Fine semolina: If you have thick semolina, grind it once in a mixer and grind it, this makes papads smoother.

Spices: You can also add finely chopped coriander or black pepper powder as per your choice.

Frying method: While frying papad, the oil should be very hot. As soon as you add the papad, it should rise up immediately.
