How to Make Papad - Urad Flour

• Add all the masalas except oil to the urad dal flour. Mix well.
• Bind together to form a very hard dough by adding water.
• Cover and keep aside for 2 hours at least.
• Apply little oil, knead the dough by hammering with a heavy pestle to make the dough softer.
• Make equal number of balls.
• Roll out each ball on a rolling board with the help of a rolling pin in a circular movement.
• Apply oil if papad tends to stick on rolling board. Repeat with the remaining balls.
• Dry the papad in direct sunlight.
• Remove from sunlight as soon as they are dry enough. Dry them for a day or two.
