Papdi Ka Lot

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW8YfqQ_Kow[/YOUTUBE]

This is one of those recipes that is my childhood in one mouthful. You will not see this in restaurants. In fact, there are very few places on the internet you can learn how to make this recipe since it's so distinct to Gujarat in India. Papdi is a special crispy rice snack similar to a rice cake but more delicious. It's close sister in the Indian food world is papad which is made out of lentil flour. Lot means dough. This is a simple rice dough recipe. Usually this dough is cooked and rolled out to form tortillas and dried in the sun.The dried tortillas are then stored and you can pop them in the microwave to make a delicious crispy snack.The tortilla rolling was done every summer by my mom, grandmom, and my little sis. I was the lucky one who got to dry them in the sun. I did not do a very good job and inevitably ate more then I care to admit. Even though I am calling it a dough, it is fully cooked and enjoyed with a drizzle of oil. This recipe is virtually fat free and gluten free as well. Considering how delicious it is, I am surprised that it has not gained any popularity so far. I guess it's because the recipe itself is a household staple garnered by generations of grandmoms and moms. The daughter (i.e. me) have yet to learn this technique. Since I no longer live close enough to home to request this dish be made (I am spoiled), I have been searching for a recipe. Luckily, I knew I had found it when I tasted my sister's MIL's papdi no lot. Thank you for sharing this recipe and helping me get a taste of my childhood with each bite Chancelor!

This recipe make 4-6 servings.

rice flour - 1 cup

clove powder - 1/4 tbsp

sesame seeds - 1 tbsp

water - 3 cups

cumin seeds - 1 tbsp

ajwain/carom seeds - 1 tbsp

green chilli paste - to taste, try 1 tbsp for a spicy version

papad karo - 1/2 tbsp, can substitute sodium bicarbonate

salt - 1/2 tbsp

oil - 2 tbsp

pinch of hing/asafoetida

Mix rice flour, sesame seeds, and clove powder in a bowl and set aside. In another pot, boil water and add the following: cumin seeds, carom seeds, and salt. Boil for five minutes. Then add papad karo, green chili paste, hing, and oil. Boil for another five minutes. Add the rice flour and stir out any lumps. You will need to continually stir for another 5 minutes while cooking. If you are running low on water and it's too hard to stir, add water in 1/2 cup portions. Then you will cook the dough again. Yes, this is twice cooked dough! We like to be thorough in Gujarat! The second time you cook it, you will steam the lot. Get your steamer ready and start boiling your water in your covered double boiler or steamer pan while you are doing the first steps of this recipe. Grease the dish you will steam in with oil. Then, dump out the dough onto the greased dish and steam for a full 20 minutes. When finished, enjoy with a drizzle of oil. As a side note, I used a spice grinder to grind my cloves. Next time, I will crush them with a mortar and pestle instead as this is more traditional. Try it and if it doesn't turn out right, invite me over. I will eat it for you!

I accidentally added my sesame seeds early but it still came out delicious!

My lot is finished and ready to enjoy! Be careful taking this baby out, it is very tricky. Traditionally the lot is shaped into discs before steaming. I am just too lazy to put in the effort since it tastes delicious without this step. Besides, I just don't have the asbestos hands of my grandmom!
