How do you make popadoms? Spiced onions and Pakora sauce?

Answer 1

let me warn you that it is a very elaborate procedure and need a kind of beating equipment which is commonly used in India but cannot be found in other countries. And it takes so much of time that people who know how to make it too, won't make it, but buy it from the store.
Anyway here is the recipefor rice papads.
Soak 1 kg rice in water after washing it well.After you soak it for a 2-3 hrs you need to dry it in the sun. Now roast the rice in a pan without any oil for a few minutes. Then make a soft flour. Add Chillies if required, salt as per your needs and a tea spoon of Asafotida. Add some hot water and pound it in a stone mortar to make a hard dough. ( I am not sure if your knead machines will work as I have not tried them for this). Now your dough is ready make them into balls. Roll each ball into small wafer thin circles like roti and dry them in the sun for a day or two till they are dry.

Idon't exactly understand what you mean by the second part of the question. Are you looking for the chutney eaten with onion pakoras, or you want a recipe for the pakoras so I am giving both.

2 teaspoon ghee
1 pinch baking soda
1 cup bengal gram flour (besan, chickpea; flour)
1/2 cup rice flour
2 tablespoon ghee
3 onions; finely chopped
1 potato (optional); finely chopped
1 a piece of ginger - 1 inch,; peeled and minced
4 green chilies; finely chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 bunch cilantro (coriander); finely chopped
1 salt; to taste
1 water; as required
1 oil; for deep-frying

Place 2 tsp. ghee and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Rub together until frothy. Add the remaining ingredients and combine well, using sufficient water to make a thick batter. Heat oil in a heavy frying pan. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil. Fry the pakoras until golden in color. When cooked, drain the excess oil on a sheet of brown paper or paper towels.

1 bunch coriander (cilantro) chopped
3-4 green chilies
1 small onion
1 lemon juice
3 tsp sugar
A pinch of amchur(dry mango powder)
2-3 flakes of garlic
Salt To Taste
red chili powder to taste

Mix and blend all ingredients thoroughly in a mixie to make a paste. Add little water if required.

Answer 2

Pappadums can be got in any Indian grocery stores and microwaved for about 30 secs to toast it. (You can also brush a little oil before microwaving it to give it the fried pappadams tatse). You get a variety of Pappadams in Indian stores - garlic, masala, pepper, plain......

Pakora are any kind of vegetables or onions in a chickpea batter mix and deep fried. The sauce I am assuming is the chutney (the accompaniement along with pakoras). Chutneys can be of many mnay varieties - corriander based, mint based, tamarind and date based....

Answer 3

Pappadums are thin, crispy wafer thingies, dipped in chutney or other sauces, and usually served as an appetizer. They're ususally made with chickpea, lentil or rice flour, with oil and salt mixed in to make the dough, which you can flavor with pepper, chilli powder, garlic, cumin, whatever. You then shape into flat little "tortilla" shapes, and deep fry, roast, toast fry or microwave to cook, depending on the texture you want. Basically, make them how you like them. Like "curry" (a spicy sauce) there's no exactly "right" way to make them.
