Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cup Potato Starch
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 6 cup Water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the potato starch and salt.
- Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. The batter should be smooth and pourable.
- Place a large pot of water over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low.
- Pour the potato starch batter into the simmering water, stirring continuously. This ensures the starch cooks evenly and creates a translucent, gel-like consistency.
- Continue to cook and stir until the mixture becomes thick and transparent, resembling a thick gel. This process should take several minutes.
- Line a clean, flat surface (like a large cutting board or baking sheet) with plastic wrap.
- Using a spoon or spatula, spread thin, even circles of the cooked potato starch mixture onto the plastic wrap. Aim for a consistent thickness to ensure even drying.
- Place the plastic wrap with the papad in direct sunlight to dry. Depending on the intensity of the sun, this process may take 1-2 days.
- Once the papad are dry and firm, carefully peel them off the plastic wrap.
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and gently slide a papad into the hot oil. Cook until it puffs up and becomes golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
