(Make sure the curry sauce is cool before blending with the mayonnaise or it will separate

13

This can all be done up to 3 hours in advance

14

Heat 1/2-inch of oil in a small skillet over medium heat

When hot, add 2 or 3 pappadams at a time, turning them over when they start to curl

16

Cook until bubbles appear, or they start to turn golden brown, about 20 seconds

Do not allow them to get to dark or they will have a burnt flavor

18

Remove and drain on a paper towel

Keep them in a warm oven until ready to use up to 2 hours; this will dry them out and keep them crisp
