frying tomato onion will add more work to me. I have my best
friend Micro oven. He is very handy. :))

Let us see how v can make tomato onion chutney in ovan.

Sliced Big onions - 2
Sliced Tomato - 1
Red chillies - 3

salt to taste

Mustard seeds - 1 Spoon

Roasted appalam/papads

Diet conscious people will avoid fried papads.

If u have micro wave u can enjoy crispy papad whenever u want.
It will take 1 minute only.

Place the papads in the ovan

set one minute time your papad is ready.
crispy papads....

With this u can make masala papads at home:
chop onions, tomatoes, green chillies, coriander leaves.
garnish them over the fried papads and add little chat masala
and pinch of salt. If u like squeeze little lemon.

Now tangy masaledhar papad is ready!!!!!
