Topic: Poppadoms

[scribes]

Has anyone tried microwaving these, or some other way other than putting them into hot oil, so as not to stink the place out with ??

[Panpot]

Yes Scribes,

We do it all the time 2 at a time for 30/40 seconds on high.

Cheers

30 seconds no more in a microwave

I brush sunflower oil over both sides of each poppadom. Then microwave. I would never again try frying them in hot oil.

Same here - 30 - 40secs on high - works a treat .

Thanks everybody, I'll brush them with oil and do them like this.

I continue to shallow fry (1 inch or so in a frying pan) mine in very hot oil (a couple of seconds each side).  Of course, this still stinks the house out though! 

I continue to do this because, although microwaving them produces edible results, there's just no way that they are as nice, big or as tasty when cooked in a microwave, as described above.

It depends on your microwave's power
If I brush the poppadoms with oil it doesn't seem to absorb into it
So I tend do microwave them dry
But I agree with Fat Les, you can't beat frying them

I Microwave mine dry & they come out very crispy ineed
