1: Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C). Put into a food-processor bowl: 100 g chickpea (gram) flour, ½ teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon curry powder (optional) and 1 teaspoon cumin seeds. Set the motor going and add the water a little at a time, until this makes a fairly firm dough.
2: You should try to roll out the dough as thinly as possible. Use a pasta machine if you can; it's the best way.
3: Arrange the rolled-out dough pieces on a baking sheet and bake...
4: ...until the papadums are golden coloured. Leave to cool before eating.
Remarks
Papadums are traditionally made with lentil flour, but chickpea or gram flour, as used here, works just fine.
