For quick and easy puppodums with no mess put in microwave for 30 secconds or 2 for 50 secconds, avoid the microwave's hotspot by placing puppodums off centre.  Maybe not quite as nice tasting as frying but its quick, easy, less messy, and less fat!

I'll second that method Madchester. They definitely aren't as tasty as the deep fried variety but for convenience and speed (and health) you just can't beat it. One warning though, not all brands of poppadom will puff up to a normal size using the microwave method.

Works best for poppadoms made from urad dal.

Can any recommend a good make?

The larger thinner ones work best, try brushing them with oil before nuking, lowers the health benefits but makes a better poppadom.
