Poppadom
Papad / Appalam
Πλασμένα και ηλιοξηραμένα στην παράδοση appalam του Tamil Nadu, αυτά τα τραγανά φύλλα στηρίζονται σε αλεσμένο urad (μαύρο όσπριο) και νοστιμίζονται με κύμινο, πιπέρι και μια πινελιά αλατιού. Ψήστε τα πάνω από ανοιχτή φλόγα για ένα φουσκαλιασμένο, καπνιστό κάψιμο ή τηγανίστε τα για δευτερόλεπτα σε ένα θρυμματιστό τραγανό. Σερβίρετέ τα δίπλα σε ρύζι και dal, θρυμματίστε τα πάνω σε chaat, ή περάστε τα ζεστά ως την πρώτη μπουκιά του γεύματος.

Ερωτήσεις
- Είναι το appalam το ίδιο με το poppadom;
- Ναι. Το appalam είναι η ταμίλ ονομασία για αυτό που οι αγγλόφωνοι αποκαλούν poppadom ή papadum, και papad στη βόρεια Ινδία. Το δικό μας ακολουθεί το νοτιοϊνδικό στυλ appalam με βάση το αλεύρι urad-dal.
- Να τα ψήσω ή να τα τηγανίσω;
- Και τα δύο λειτουργούν. Το ψήσιμο στη φλόγα πάνω από έναν καυστήρα γκαζιού για λίγα δευτερόλεπτα από κάθε πλευρά δίνει ένα καπνιστό, φουσκαλιασμένο, χωρίς λάδι τραγανό· το ρηχό τηγάνισμα δίνει ένα πιο ανοιχτόχρωμο, πιο ελαφρύ θρύμμα. Όπως και να 'χει ψήνονται σε δευτερόλεπτα.
- Είναι χωρίς γλουτένη;
- Αυτές οι βάφλες urad-dal είναι φυσικά χωρίς γλουτένη, φτιαγμένες από αλεσμένο μαύρο όσπριο και όχι από σιτάρι. Ελέγχετε πάντα τη συσκευασία αν χρειάζεστε αυστηρή αποφυγή, καθώς τα στυλ μπορεί να διαφέρουν.
