No this isn't a picture of some freaky '80s inspired outsider art, but it could be. It's from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories' step-by-step tutorial on how to cook your own papadum with pictures over at Instructables.Apparently making the crispy Indian wafers at home is a breeze. Just pick up some at your friendly neighborhood Indian grocery store. The store these folks go to offers two choices, scary bunny and plain package. Oddly enough, the ones in the plain package are spicy.
Before they're cooked, papads are thin and crunchy. When I was in college I didn't know you had to cook them so my buddies and would use them like tortilla chips whenever we had our lime pickle eating contests. Had I only known how easy they are to cook, just place them right over your gas burner and be prepared to quickly flip.

You can microwave them too ... a lot easier than waving them over a naked flame ... about 30 seconds on each side (they curl up)... you have to keep an eye on them.
Nothing beats frying them though!
