Microwave poppadoms
When I saw Jamie Oliver cook poppadoms in a microwave on 15 Minute Meals, I wondered if it was some kind of trick. Surely there's not enough moisture in a poppadom to enable it to puff up?

Well there is and it works perfectly - I think it's nicer than deep fried poppadoms which always taste greasy and unhealthy.
If you really must have your 'fat-kick', then first brush them with a tiny amount of butter or olive oil.
They won't puff up if they are lying on top of each other, or if they are flat on the turntable.

Method
- Arrange 4 poppadoms at a time in a plastic bowl so they stand up independently.
- Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, checking progress as you go.
- Remove ony that have fully puffed up and continue until all are nice and puffy.
- Leave to cool for 3 or 4 minutes after cooking because they don't become crisp until they have cooled down.
