Papad Salad Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 plain papad, (available in Indian grocery stores)
  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced very small to make a approx. 1cup
  • 1/2 English or deseeded cucumber, cut in very small pieces to make it about ½ cup
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ginger finely shredded, optional
  • 1 green chili finely chopped, optional
  • ½ lemon
  • 2 teaspoon oil

Instruction

  1. Mix tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, ginger, and green chili, set aside
  2. Lightly oil the papads from both sides, set aside.
  3. Preheat the skillet over medium high heat. Roast the papads on both sides in the skillet one at a time, pressing with spatula. The papads will change to a light yellow with a few brown spots. Be careful not to over-roast. Fold the Papads in quarters while they are hot, making triangles right on the skillet.
  4. Remove the papads from the skillet and break on the folds, creating four triangles from each one.
  5. Take one piece of papad and top it with cucumber, tomato, ginger, green chili, and cilantro.
  6. Drizzle with lemon juice.
