Some Toothpicks to close the edges of the papad

Servings / Time

6 Stuffed Papads / 30 Minutes

Preparation

1. Chop the onion and tomato very fine, add salt to the chopped onions and tomatoes, add 2 tablespoons of Tomato Ketchup or Tamarind Chutney and mix well. Keep this aside.

2. Break an egg into a small bowl, mix the egg yolk and the egg white by beating it slightly.

3. Take 6 Papads, I buy these papad packets usually and shallow fry these to be eaten as a light snack. However today I tried something different by stuffing them with a simple tomato-onion mixture.

4. Take each of these papads, take a brush, smear some egg with the brush over the papad, add 2 teaspoons of the stuffing and close the papad edges by inserting a toothpick. The papads should be thick enough for the stuffing. Also do not stuff too much as the papad can get soggy.

5. Once all the papads have been stuffed, heat a non-stick pan with some oil. Heat the oil, when the oil is hot enough, add the papads and fry them on a medium flame, fry on either side till golden yellow.

6. Once ready place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Take off the toothpicks carefully from each and every stuffed papad. Serve the Onion Tomato Stuffed Papad hot.
