Annam Plain Papadam (6") 200g

Annam Plain Papadam (6") is the larger, unseasoned papad, the size meant to be broken and shared rather than eaten whole. Plain means no cumin, pepper or garlic, so it sits quietly next to strongly spiced food instead of competing with it. The wider disc puffs dramatically when fried and is easier to snap into pieces for a table. Deep fry it for a few seconds in hot oil, pressing it flat with a slotted spoon, or roast it over a low flame or in a dry pan, turning constantly so it colours evenly. Either way it is done the moment it turns pale and curls, and it crisps further as it cools.

Best with

• Rice meals with sambar, rasam or dal
• Curries, served as a crunchy side to break and dip
• Topping with chopped onion, tomato and chutney as masala papad
