Ingredients:
- Whole Wheat Flour – 1 cup
- Rice Flour – 2 tbsp (for extra crispiness)
- Carom Seeds (Ajwain) – ½ tsp
- Cumin Seeds (Jeera) – ½ tsp
- Black Sesame Seeds – 1 tsp (optional)
- Salt – to taste
- Chili Powder – ½ tsp (optional, for mild spice)
- Oil or Ghee – for frying
- Water – as needed to make dough
Step 1: Preparing the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, rice flour, carom seeds, cumin seeds, black sesame seeds, and salt.
- Add chili powder (if using) for a mild spicy flavor.
- Gradually add water and knead into a soft and smooth dough.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
Step 2: Rolling and Shaping the Papadis
- After resting, divide the dough into small balls.
- Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 2-3 inches in diameter).
- Use a fork to lightly prick the rolled dough to prevent puffing up while frying.
Step 3: Frying the Papadis
- Heat enough oil or ghee in a deep pan or kadhai for frying.
- Once the oil is hot (test with a small piece of dough; it should sizzle and rise immediately), carefully drop the rolled papadis into the hot oil.
- Fry on medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 4: Cooling & Storing
- Allow the Papadi to cool completely, and store them in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
