HI ,All
No one was able to tell me what is that smell.
They think it is the combination of a lot of  different  smells of  every thing  cooking and frying in the kitchen.
May be i don't know.
May be some one else can ask as well.
Thanks

Changing the subject a little.
I made me some poppadoms.
They were lovely

You may have noticed that my poppadoms curl really badly out of shape.
Hope do you get them nice and flat?

I've found that using kris dhillions method of placing 2 popodums in the oil together and holding them there for a few seconds works very well.

"Take two popadoms at a time, and holding them as one, carefully slip them into the hot oil. As soon as they are immersed turn them over using tongs or two fish slices. Hold the two popadoms together as one all the time. Allow no more than two seconds and remove from the hot oil.
Drain on kitchen paper upright (like toast in a toast rack), and not flat, for the best results."

Have recently been cooking my popadoms in the microwave...spray or brush lightly with oil & zap for 45 secs on high...works like a treat !

Hello Pete,
The moment you put your poppadum into the oil, approx 2 seconds
later just turn it over and fry it on the opposite side and spread the
edges flat with your tongs. While they are frying you can still change
the shape in the oil but once removed from the oil they go crispy.
Dont fry on the first side too long. Flip over VERY quickly!

Respectfully,
Barry.
