Chicken Tikka Salad on Pappadams
7 people added this to their Recipe Box
This is a mildly spiced Indian classic in miniaturized form. Pappadams, an Indian cracker bread, are available as mini-size snacks from Shikar brand in Indian grocery stores and some supermarkets. They come in a variety of flavours (including our favourite, black pepper), and one container will have more than enough for this recipe. Or serve on toasted pita wedges, rice crackers or melba rounds.
