Serves: 5
FLAME ROASTING
Using tongs, hold each paapad over the flame and roast it, beginning with the edges and moving toward the center.
OVEN OR TASTER OVEN
Place under the preheated broiler until crisp - no more than 35 seconds - making sure the edges do not burn.
TOASTER
Toast as you would a slice of bread, turning the paapad to make sure the edges get browned.
MICROWAVE OVEN
Cook on high power about 1 minute, watching to make sure the paapad doesn't burn or begin to smoke. (this method is so quick and easy that you may find yourself making them this way all the time at home and will start a new trend at the office - if you have a microwave.)
DEEP-FRYING
Follow the directions for deep-frying (see Kitchen Basics: Deep-frying, Indian Style), making sure to drain each paapad well. Typically, the oil used for paapad frying is not reusable, because it gets gelatinized in the process.
