Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Chana dal (split chickpeas)
- 1 tablespoon Rice flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 200 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 unit Cooking spray
Instructions
Rinse 100 grams of chana dal thoroughly under cold water until it runs clear.
Soak the chana dal in 200 milliliters of water for 2 hours, allowing them to soften.
Drain the water and grind the soaked dal into a fine paste using a food processor.
Transfer the paste into a mixing bowl and add 1 tablespoon of rice flour, 0.5 teaspoon of asafoetida, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of red chili powder.
Mix well to achieve a smooth and lump-free batter.
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the batter, mixing until fully incorporated.
Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with cooking spray.
Spoon a small amount of batter onto the pan and spread it evenly into a thin circle, approximately 4 inches in diameter.
Cook the papad for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the papad from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, spraying the pan with cooking spray as needed.
Store the cooled papads in an airtight container until ready to serve.
