The key to making crispy rice flour papdi at home are;
- Firstly, for papdi dough use fine powder rice flour and avoid coarse rice flour. the papdi has to be slightly thin and crispy and you would be able to achieve that with fine rice flour.
- i have added slightly hot ghee to dry ingredients to make papdi extra soft and tasty. You can use butter instead of it.
- I also add soaked sabudana in dough for khasta and the crispy texture of papdi.
- Papdi should be smooth and semi-soft. Also, use slightly hot water while kneading dough so rice flour easily absorbs it.
- lastly, store these in an airtight container for longer shelf life. it should easily last long for 1-2 weeks without losing its crispiness.
