My experiments with papad (Cracker)

So here I am ..... After a series of experimentation with Rotis, I tried to take on the most basic as well as most hardest test on Indian Kitchen.
If you google for papad, you will come to know, what it is, if you are not a Indian, else you already know, what I am talking about.

So it began , my mother was out of kitchen(out of home actually), lunch was already prepared, It was sunday afternoon and with the combination of
rice and daal, I thought to have some Papad.
This idea was a result of various thoughts from my mind.
I should step into kitchen,as my father & his 2 brothers, they all 3 are already a very good cook.
Even My grandfather was a good cook.
And I am not even able to go above making tea...... :(
So this time I thought to have something, to let my genes prove themselves.............
"In Rajasthan, specially in my home and all home of my relatives, we dont use any aid while roasting the papad.
On the Gas burner, it is roasted directly, and it require a skilled person to roast it all over the same.
It should be neither too much roasted, as it is all black then, nor less roasted, as it is all raw then.
Even the spots that remain, spoil the all fun."
Thinking about all these, I was in the kitchen with gas on and papad on hand.
I tried my best to roast it equally. I succeeded in roasting half of the area, Just when a terrible thing happened.
People can have burnt papads, but it is never that the whole papad gets flamed......
I have never seen something in my kitchen till now.
But it happened. ..............
The papad itself set on fire, and I knew, No fire extinguisher can save it.... ;)
I then somehow managed to put the flame off from the papad, and save some of it. :)
The whole incident made me learn a new lesson,
when it comes to kitchen, It is better to stay out !!!!!!!!!!!!
