Title: Interesting way of cooking poppadoms
Post by: benmitchell88 on March 20, 2012, 03:26 AM

Found an amazing new way of cooking poppadoms from this guy on youtube!  :D

How to make a Poppadom Basket (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BIROaHJB_k#)

Balancing the poppadom on a shot glass and banging it in the microwave for 1 minute seem's to give a great result!

They don't taste anywhere near as good when done in the microwave, perhaps better for you but certainly not as nice as freshly fried!

I've tried it and found them dry and rather bitter. If I were looking for an ideal basket, I'd go for the amazing food experience I had last time I was in Yorkshire in a wee pub down Doncaster Way at lunch - looked something like the below, and it was chicken curry in a giant ....

Yorkshire Pudding.  ;D

Now that is my idea of a great pub meal - curry in a Yorkshire pudding - but being from Yorkshire what else!

awesome

Jlpartner, terribly sorry for derailing your thread, but I just had to do it - it was nagging and nagging me, and as it's roast lamb night I succumbed and just went ahead and did it - hadn't made a Yorkie in over a year ;D

Far too big for myself only, so shared it with SWMBO.
However to stay true to the quest I did it in Ghee - also the veggies as I had the tin out. I tell you what, after years of using dripping etc I reckon that Ghee should have been invented in Yorkshire:

Maharaja pudding of Yorkshire:
