Quick tip: Healthier, No-fry papad

Take 2 kitchen paper towels & stack 2 papads in between them. Heat in the microwave oven for about 45 seconds and they should be cooked evenly all the way to the centre.

Experiment with timing since wattage may differ, but this worked for me with the plain white kind and turned out nice & crunchy, not too hard. Enjoy! :)
