How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Heat the oil to 375°F. Gently slide one wafer into the oil.
|
2. Push the wafer down and swirl it around using tongs, pressing it gently to keep it submerged at all times during cooking.
|
3. The wafer will turn light and fluffy and expand enormously in size (about 10 seconds).
|
4. Remove and drain it on paper towels and continue with the remaining ones in the same way.
|
5. When slightly cool, the puppadam will turn crisp.
