Roasted papad, also known as papadum, is a popular Indian snack that can be enjoyed on its own or served as an accompaniment to a meal. It is a thin, crispy disc made from lentil, rice or potato flour, and is typically seasoned with spices like cumin, black pepper, and chili powder.
Roasting papad in a Samsung microwave oven is a quick and convenient way to enjoy this delicious snack. The microwave oven helps to cook the papad evenly and gives it a crispy texture without using excess oil. Plus, using the microwave oven eliminates the need for constant monitoring and flipping that is required when roasting papad on a stovetop or open flame.
To roast papad in a Samsung microwave oven, start by placing one papad on a microwave-safe plate. Lightly brush both sides of the papad with oil to enhance the browning and add flavor. It is important to use an oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil or sunflower oil. Alternatively, you can spray the papad with cooking oil spray.
Place the plate with the papad in the microwave oven and set the power level to high. Microwave the papad for about 1-2 minutes, or until it turns crispy and golden brown. Keep a close eye on the papad to prevent it from burning, as cooking times may vary depending on the microwave oven’s wattage and the thickness of the papad.
Once the papad is roasted to perfection, remove it from the microwave oven and let it cool for a minute or two. The papad will become even crispier as it cools down. Serve the roasted papad with your favorite chutney or dip, or enjoy it as a standalone snack.
With a Samsung microwave oven, roasting papad becomes a hassle-free task. Whether you’re hosting a party or craving a tasty snack, this quick and easy method will help you achieve the perfect roasted papad every time!
