Poppadoms Recipe - Makes 12

Taste Rating = 0 Heat Rating = Unrated

Ingredients

2 cups chickpea flour
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
1/4 cup (2 fl oz) water
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for dusting)

Method

Mix the chickpea flour, pepper, ground cumin and salt in a large bowl
Add the garlic and mix well
Add most of the water and mix into a dough
The dough should be firm and dry
If the dough is too dry then keep adding a little more water until it gets to the correct consistency
Knead the dough for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth
Roll the dough into a log 2 inches thick and 6 inches long
Cut the dough into 12 equal sized slices
Brush a small amount of oil onto the end of a slice (this is the top) and roll out into a very thin circle of about 6-7 inches - the poppadom should be very thin - just ease the poppadom off the rolling pin if it sticks
Put a light sprinkling of cayenne pepper on the poppadom
Repeat the above process with each of the dough slices
Carefully put the poppadoms onto large baking sheets
Preheat the oven to 300F (150C)
Bake the poppadoms for 15 to 25 minutes until crisp and dry (keep checking them every couple of minutes after 15 minutes)
Remove the baked poppadoms from the oven and leave to cool
If not needed now, store the poppadoms in an airtight container until they are needed
Heat 1/8 inch of oil in a large frying pan, or skillet, until the oil is hot but not smoking
Put a poppadom into the oil and turn it over when it begins to curl at the edges
Remove the poppadom before it turns brown and put it onto kitchen paper to drain
Cook all the poppadoms like this
Serve immediately
