How to Fry and Roast Appalam (Papad) Perfectly

Simple steps to fry or roast appalam and vadam so they puff up crisp every time.

Frying

Heat oil until a small piece of appalam rises and puffs in a few seconds. Slide in one appalam at a time, turn it once, and lift it out as soon as it stops bubbling. Drain on a paper towel.

Roasting

Hold the appalam with tongs over a low flame, turning it so it cooks evenly, or microwave it for a short time on a plate.

Keeping it crisp

Store uncooked appalam and vadam in an airtight container. Serve fried ones the same day.
