Cooking Poppadums

[bednobs]

hi, is there any other way of cooking them except deep frying?

[Islay]

I don't think so as it's the deep frying that puffs them up. You can buy them already cooked

[TheChair]

We spray them with a little oil, and zap them.

[andy-hughes]

I am sure you can shallow fry them in a frying pan - ?

You can buy them ready cooked in Tescos, Sainsburys and Co-Op, a pkt of 8 is about £1.50, Sharwoods or own brand are very good and it saves time and the bother of frying them, less mess etc. http://www.sharwoods.com/range/indian/breads-and-poppadoms/8-plain-poppadoms

Yes microwave them :)

[Jackdaw33]

I agree with sp 48.

[woofgang]

I never fry them. I rub or spray them with a little oil and put them under a medium hot grill. Watch them like a hawk and flip when the start to puff. once flipped. allow them to puff completely.

Grill without oil or toaster if they fit

[bednobs]

thanks everyone

As Chelle7272 says, they cook remarkably well in a microwave. (Indeed, some now have microwaving given as the preferred method of cooking on the packets).

Mine have always turned out rather well in a microwave :-)
