Amritsari Papad online is made from a dough of lentil flour, usually urad dal, mixed with water, salt, and spices. The dough is kneaded until smooth, then rolled into thin sheets. Small discs are cut from the sheets and sometimes rubbed with oil or seasoning. These discs are dried in the sun until completely moisture free, which helps them store well. Once dried, papads are packed and sold. Before eating, they are roasted over a flame, fried in oil, or microwaved, causing them to puff up and become crisp. Regional variations use rice flour, tapioca starch, garlic, papad, or cumin for flavor.
