Chef's Notes
Listen closely, culinary adventurer! The secret to a phenomenal papdi lies entirely in the thickness of your dough disc. If you rush the flattening process and leave them thick, you will end up with chewy crackers rather than the shatteringly crisp masterpieces we demand in the royal court.
Pro Tip
Grease your zip-lock bag just enough so the dough releases without tearing. Too much oil will make your pressing surface dangerously slippery, sending your dough flying across the kitchen!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dump too many dough discs into the frying oil at once, the oil temperature will plummet faster than a bad royal investment, resulting in soggy, oil-logged discs that will make even your household pets weep in disappointment.

Royal Court Comedy
Our royal guards use these papdis as impenetrable shields, though they tend to crumble dramatically under enemy fire.
The Culinary Science
Soaking the moong and urad dal hydrates the starches and softens the protein matrices, which allows the mixer to pulverize them into a cohesive paste that binds the rice flour without needing excessive amounts of gluten.
