Tip:
Pappadams are thin Indian crackers made from lentil flour and traditionally grilled over a flame. Look for them in the aisle where Indian foods are sold.
To grill pappadams, carefully hold a pappadam with stainless steel tongs over the flame of a natural gas burner on medium-low heat, turning once, until bubbled and golden brown on both sides. Alternatively, pappadams can be broiled. To broil pappadams, preheat broiler. Place a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Place pappadams on rack in pan. Broil until bubbled and golden brown, about 30 - 45 seconds.
