Stage 1 - ⌛ 1 min.

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.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 10 min.

You should try to roll out the dough as thinly as possible. Use a pasta machine if you can; it's the best way.

Arrange the rolled-out dough pieces on a baking sheet and bake...

Stage 4 - ⌛ 10 min.

...until the papadums are golden coloured.

Leave to cool before eating.

Remarks

Keeping: A few days in an airtight tin.
