Masala Paapad (Microwave)

Tried and tasted by Nivedita 
Hi All,
Are you wondering why am I posting so easy recipe? Because its the favorite snack of my family. We love it any time. Earlier I used to fry the paapad in the oil or used to roast it on tawa or direct flame. But the fried paapad is not good for health and the roasted on tawa is not that tastier. Then I switched to Microwave. 
When ever we go out to have food in restaruants, we always order this one. But now a days often I make it at home. The advantage of making it at home is you can try different combinations in masala. 
Going to the recipe,

Paapad - 2 big size (I use Lizzat urad dal paapad, but the choice is yours)
Oil - 1 tsp or 
Water 
For Masala,
Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
Tomato - 1 finely chopped
Carrot - 1 medium, grated
Fresh coriander - 1 tbsp finely chopped
Lime juice - 1 tsp
Sugar - 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Mix all together and keep aside.
Chilly powder - to sprinkle on paapad

Brush the paapad with oil or water,(choice is yours) Both tastes different but good.
Keep the paapad  in Micro Wave on HIGH for one minute.
Repeat with other paapad.
Keep the paapad on serving plate.
Sprinkle the chilly powder evenly.
Take the ready masala and spread it on paapad. 
Serve immediately.
In my house before I finish spreading on the second paapad, the first one will be over!!
VARIATIONS FOR MASALA:
ADD FINELY CHOPPED CUCUMBER, PARSLEY, SPROUTS, BOILED POTAOTES, SEV..... 
Sending this to 

And

Keep Smiling,

I love masala papad too and always use the microwave for cooking the papads. It keeps them nice and crispy. Lovely with any topping. You can also do similar toppings on crisps or tortillas...
