Holi Papads & Chips: No Sun? No Problem! Easy Drying Hacks Revealed

• Traditional Holi preparations include making and sun-drying papads and chips, but modern challenges like limited sunlight and changing weather make this difficult.
• Lack of proper drying without sunlight can lead to spoilage due to moisture.
• Fan air is an effective alternative: spread papads/chips on a cloth, turn on a high-speed fan overnight for drying.
• For small quantities and quick drying, an oven can be used by baking thinly sliced, lightly boiled chips for 10-12 minutes.
• A microwave can quickly dry small batches in 2-3 minutes, removing residual moisture and enhancing crispiness; a griddle on low heat also works for final drying.
