The crunch of the parathas was  a winner all the way !

Papad/Papadam is a crispy thin flat bread type snack served as an accompaniment to the main course or as an appetizer or even as an after meal mouth freshener (yup!!) .They are rolled out as thin disc like shapes from a dough made of lentils/pulses. The dried discs are then deep fried or roasted over gas top or an oven ! We get ready made packets of a wide variety of papads that vary in terms of spice mix.

The papads I used for parathas is the mini masala papads that had a fine blend of spices to pep it up !! 

You can just crumble the fried/dry roasted papads and directly use it as a filling in the dough; or alternatively make a curry out of them with onions and a few other fuse of ingredients and use them as filling. The parathas from my hearth had both the options tried out & relished !!

What goes:-
For the dough:–

• Wheat Flour – 1 cup
• Water – as required
• Oil – little

• Fried/Roasted papads – 15 to 20 (i used mini papads, take quantity as required)
• Spice Blend- chat powder /coriander/cumin powder – optional – to taste
