Masala Papad

It was a rainy evening. In this season usually we tempt for pakodas and bhajiyas. Even I thought of making some pakodas but when I checked in my pantry, I found that I was out of gram flour. I was so disappointed. But suddenly my husband reminded me of Masala Papad and then I started the preparation. It is super quick as well as yummy recipe. Often we all order Masala Papad when we go out to the restaurant. But I bet you will love it making at your home and gorging on it.

Masala Papad is an instant and easy to prepare appetizer. It can also be served as a side accompaniment with cocktails or mocktails. It can be made in a jiffy with very few ingredients which are readily available in your pantry. You can also prepare it as an evening snacks for kids or as a starter for your guests.
