To think popadoms are healthy

[feellikeahugefailure]

I've just eaten 100g of them, they are made mainly of garam flour, with a tiny amount of veg oil, salt and cumin. Grilled so not fried. That's given me 20g of protein for 300 cals and was filling.

Healthy right?

Brilliant - I had no idea you could do that with the dried poppadoms and actually threw some away because I could never justify deep frying them. Now, if I could remember where I bought them from in the first place, I would be all over this discovery like a rash...!

Well that didn't work. They stayed hard and flat in the middle and didn't really expand properly at the edges either.

We had a pack in the cupboard but could never be bothered with frying them. Just tried the microwave trick. OMG MY LIFE HAS CHANGED.

No oil and a 45 seconds in a 1kw microwave

I'll be buying a pack of uncooked poppadoms and trying the microwave trick this evening methinks - I bloody love them but cooking them in oil puts me off a bit.

Might not apply to many but the top of the AGA is a great way to fat free cook them.

I broke my micro wave cooking poppadoms( ages ago ....not blaming the OP!) I think there was just to little substance in the poppadom to asorb all the energy and it cooked itself...
