We serve these by the name "Masala Poppadums". Whatever name you choose to call it with, this is one refreshing appetizer which has got crispy poppadums with spicy salad.
Poppadums (or Pappad) are an Indian staple made from flour (wheat / rice / lentil). You can find these in Indian supermarket in both avatars - spicy or plain. The most common way to cook them at home is frying, or for the expert you, try cooking on open gas flame. If you opt for gas flame method and want to avoid burning away the entire poppadum, you can buy a special Indian pappad pan which has small holes to allow the gas flame to evenly cook the poppadums without burning.
For this recipe, it would be best to use a poppadum which has a bit of spice like black pepper. To prepare the salad, you may chop onions, tomato and cucumber in tiny cubes. For spices, easiest would be to grab a packet of "Chat Masala" from you local Indian shop. Depending on your taste, mix this spice with your salad.
Once you have cooked the poppadums, you can spread this delicious and colourful topping (similar to how you would do for a pizza). Serve these immediately else poppadums would lose their crispness.
You are now ready to enjoy the refreshing and crispy poppadums.
