How to cook papadums

Step 8 Serve and eat

Even when you take the papadums off the stove, they are still quite flexible. It isn't until they've had time to cool down just a little bit (about one minute) that they transition from chewy to the crisp brittle consistency that you expect.

Simply stacking the papadums works well to get them out of the way and let them cool. They're especially nice when they're fresh and still warm, so serve them that way if at all possible.
