Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Split urad dal (black gram)
- 250 ml Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (or Kashmiri red chili powder for color)
- 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by soaking the split urad dal in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain the water completely and transfer the soaked dal into a blender.
Add 250 ml of water to the blender along with asafoetida, cumin seeds, black pepper powder, paprika, carom seeds, and lemon juice. Blend the mixture into a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Heat a non-stick tawa or skillet over medium heat. While it's warming up, prepare a clean muslin cloth or silicone baking mat to spread the papads.
Take a spoonful of batter and pour it onto the cloth or mat, spreading it thinly with the back of the spoon to form small circular discs. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
Allow these discs to dry completely in the sun or a well-ventilated area for about 6-8 hours, or until the papads easily peel off the cloth or mat without sticking.
Once dried, store these homemade low sodium papads in an airtight container. To cook, place the papad directly over a low flame or microwave them for a few seconds until crisp and fully puffed.
Serve immediately as a snack or accompaniment to your meals.
