  • Remove it gently and pat dry with a paper napkin. Make sure to pat dry by keeping the wet papad in between the paper napkin.
  • Lift the papad carefully and spread it on the greased microwave katori.
  • Press the centre part of the papad into the katori and then arrange the sides in the bowl, so that the papad takes the shape of the bowl.
