Time: 10 to 15 minutes
Serves: 4 persons
Ingredients:4 Urad Papad (5 to 6" dia)
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup tomato, finely chopped
2 tbsp Cilnatro (coriander), finely chopped
1/2 tsp red chili powder or to taste
1/2 tsp Chaat Masala
1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
Salt to taste
Oil to deep fry
Method:
1) Heat a flat pan (Tip 1). Add oil and deep fry Papad as usual.
2) Rub lemon juice to the chopped onion. (Tip 2)
3) Sprinkle Red chili powder (Tip 3)and chaat masala over the papad. Also spread tomato and onion. Sprinkle very little salt.
Garnish with Cilantro and serve immediately.
Tips:
1) Usually we use kadai to deep fry papad. But, sometimes papad gets twisted while frying. Hence I used flat pan. It requires very little oil and papad does not fold or twist.
2) Lemon juice gives nice tangy flavor. However, masala papad should be served immediately after adding lemon juice. Otherwise, papad becomes mushy.
3) I had used Jeera flavored Papad. It is better to use plain urad papad. You may use other flavors urad papad, but the taste changes a bit. Sprinkle very little red chili powder, when using Miri flavored (black pepper) Papad.
4) Papad can be roasted instead of frying. However, roasted papad soaks the moisture and gets mushy immediately.
5) Fine sev can be sprinkled to make the masala papad more attractive.
