Who hasn’t heard about Amritsari papad wadiyan? Any tourist worth her or his salt will pick up a pack or two from the ubiquitous papad shops that surround the Golden Temple. These papad and wadiyan, though delicious, are mass produced under questionable hygiene conditions. Ammiji visited these shops only if it were an emergency and if she had run out of her own homemade papad wadiyan. Even now, when her arthritic fingers will not let her roll out papad or shape the wadiyan properly, she will sit on a chair in her verandah, and get these made by her helper under her eagle-eyed supervision.

These papad and wadiyan come to you from Amritsar, made under Ammiji’s supervision, from ingredients that are hand-picked by her. They are made from premium urad dal and use the choicest spices.
Amritsari wadiyan are famous around the world. Put them in a simple potato curry and they take on the shape of a gourmet dish. Add them to a plain pulao, and the rice obtains a kick it never had. Pair them with any kind of string beans as a dry dish, and you’ll have a side dish that’ll hog center stage. Wadiyan are that spicy part of traditional Amritsari cuisine that the rest of the world has yet to emulate. And Ammiji’s wadiyan are definitely the best you can get. Dumplings made from ground urad dal and spices and then sun dried under Ammiji’s supervision, according to the recipe that was passed down to her from her mother-in-law. We kid you not, these are that particular bomb of flavor that will leave you wanting more even as you marvel at the spice level.

Methi-lassan is Ammiji’s personal favorite. She loves the piquant, fragrant version of this Amritsari papad. She says it reminds her of the winters when she was young and would help her new mother-in-law make these. They would sit on the terrace and separate the methi leaves from the stems till there were little piles of green all around them and then they’d work on peeling the garlic. The combined smell of these two was enough to set anyone’s mouth watering, and the young girl would sneak back downstairs to the kitchen on some or the other pretext and grab a bite to eat before going back up to help her mother-in-law.

This flavorful papad is indeed reminiscent of sunlit winters, of a simpler time, and of good, homemade, delicious food. It’s reminiscent of everything good and pure.
