Papad Parathas

    Papad or Poppadums are very favorite Indian meal accompaniment-and also are eaten either before meals with chutney as an appetizer, or with meals as side. In many parts of India and in many Families (specially mine!), papad eating is almost an obsession and must-have with every Indian meal. Papad can be prepared in various ways-fried or roasted or even cook in gravy or just serve I roasted or fried papad as garnishing the dish. Here is a rather freakish Papad based recipe. "Papad Parathas"...!
