Pappadam Thoran is a new-gen side dish for lunch. In a traditional South Indian lunch, there will always be rice, a curry, and a side dish-usually some kind of stir fry, vattal, or pappadam.
Pappadam (or pappad) is made from urad dal in South India. It’s available in both plain and spicy versions. No South Indian sadya is complete without pappadam being served.
This recipe is an upgraded version of the regular pappadam-turned into a stir fry. And the best part? You can easily make it using leftover pappadams!
What makes this delicacy special is that it’s a little spicy-and of course, crunchy too. It works perfectly as a side dish or even as a spicy tea-time snack.
The recipe is simple:
First, tear raw pappadams into small pieces, fry them, and keep them aside. Then, in hot oil, roast mustard seeds, chilli flakes, onions, and other spices. Finally, add the fried pappadam pieces and mix well.
That’s it-your Pappadam Stir Fry is ready!
