Papadum Express - Oil Free Microwave Papadum Maker

Papadum Express - Microwave Papadum Maker

I'm fan for crunchy Papadums and papads from my childhood. I stack deep fried papadums and can munch on them whole day. After becoming health and weight conscious I was not able to indulge in the pleasure of munching crispy papadums. Did the makers of Papadum Express heard my mind.....

Ta ta da….here comes the papad lovers savior the " Papadum Express - Microwave Papadum Maker " you can cook several crispy, crunchy and tasty papadums in a minute in microwave. No more kitchen tantrums of heating oil in deep fryer, deep frying papads and spluttering oil around the stove.

Papadum Express Microwave Papadum Maker

The tray is well designed and the sticks are detachable for easy storage, when I made papadum I just snug fit those sticks in the spaces provided in the tray, stacked 3 papadums and 2 pepper papads left some gap in-between ( but you can stack upto 10 to 8 papadums at a time )and micro-waved for a minute.

Once crunchy and crispy papadums cooked, I waited for 10 seconds and enjoyed tasty Papadums with my meal. Next time I’m planning to cook hard Taco shells and warm khakras with Papadum Express.
