These crisp, golden pappadams are a quintessential addition to any Indian-style feast. Traditionally made from lentil flour, these thin wafers transform in seconds when dropped into hot oil, expanding into a light and airy snack with a satisfying crunch. Serving them warm alongside a selection of tangy mango chutney, cooling raita, or spicy lime pickle provides the perfect textural contrast to a rich, fragrant curry.
This simple vegan side dish is surprisingly easy to master at home and far superior to the pre-packaged versions. By following a few key temperature cues, you can achieve a professional finish that is both light and greaseless. Whether you are hosting a weekend dinner party or looking for a quick savoury snack, these homemade lentil wafers offer an authentic touch to your menu.

Ingredients for Pappadams (Lentil Wafers)
About 1200ml vegetable oil
12 plain pappadams (about 4 inches in diameter)
How to make Pappadams (Lentil Wafers)
Heat about 1 1/2 inches oil in a wok or 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over high heat until a tiny piece of pappadam dropped in oil quickly bobs to surface and expands (about 177°C).
Reduce heat to medium-high. Slip 1 pappadam into oil and let it expand to its full size and turn light brown, 10 to 30 seconds. Using tongs, flip it over quickly and fry other side until light brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining pappadams. (If pappadams don't expand immediately, oil is too cool; if they brown too quickly, oil is too hot.)
