Time 1h50m

Yield 15-20 Large crackers

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups lentil flour (Likely make your own with grain grinder or blendtec or etc)
1 teaspoon black pepper, cracked
1/2 teaspoon cumin, ground
1/2 teaspoon whole cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
vegetable oil (for frying, if needed)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl mix the flour, black pepper, cumin and salt.
  • Add the water and knead the dough by hand until it is smooth.
  • Depending on the flour you may need to add more or less water to reach the desired consistency. It should be wet enough to hold together but not too sticky.
  • Divide the dough into 12 to 15 balls and roll out one ball at a time to a very thin round layer about 1/8 inch thick or use your pasta roller. Then place them on a slightly oiled surface oiled or silpat lined cookie sheets.
  • Place the papadums in the oven preheated to about 200 F for 60-90 minutes.
  • Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
  • Fry in a non-stick skillet in a small amount of oil (I prefer to dry fry them) until they are crispy but do not let them brown.
  • Serve warm. They can also be made ahead and then be crisped up in a warm oven before serving.
