After making panipuri in my Gowise Air Fryer, I was feeling quite confident with the Airfryer and got thinking about fried foods that I well and truly love to eat. Who can resist pappadums or other fryums? And from then, I prepared many of the snacks made in the air fryer. 

       Can I fry papad/other Indian fryums in an air fryer? This is a big question asked by many people. Yes, absolutely. I made 3-4 batches of fryum in my air fryer and Voila! It came out just like my mom used to deep fry them. I sprayed these dried fryums with oil and air-fried them in batches of 3-4 for a couple of minutes each. They don’t expand as much as when fried in oil, but still, have the indulgent crunch that I adore. Plus, they now have a clean and non-greasy taste! Yummy!!!
