Notes

This recipe works with all kinds of tortillas, gluten free, whole wheat, low carb, corn. Works really well with left over rotis/chapatis. The rotis are thinner than tortillas, so they get done a little faster than the flour tortillas. The whole wheat ones look a little darker than the flour ones. I used Mission brand tortillas. I feel its best to work with 2-3 tortillas/rotis at a time. It gets more evenly browned. After cutting the tortillas, if you let them air dry for 20-30 minutes before drizzling oil and air frying, it will make the papdi more crunchy.
