Answers:
Commonly, pappadums are accompanied by Chutneys, Indian Pickles and Relishes!. They are all similar, some are more savoury and others are sweeter!. There are numerous ones that you can buy in the stores (check the ethic food section - Pataks is a decent brand), or you should be able to find some recipes online if you do a search for Indian Chutney - you'll find recipes for lots of them this way!. Happy Cooking! I hope your girlfriend appreciates all your efforts :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

You could make raita!.!.!. quick and simple as it is just plain yoghurt, chopped up cucumber and a bit of mint and chilli powder for extra flavour!. WIll take a few minutes to make!Www@FoodAQ@Com

By the way Popadom(papad) is it self used as accompaniments with curry,fried rice,lentins,chicken etc!.But u can try these recipes

*Poppadom Curry(Paapad ki Sabzi)

4 medium sized raw poppadoms cut into 1" squares
1 teaspoon(s) each of mustard and cumin seeds
? teaspoon(s) each of asafoetida and turmeric powders
1 teaspoon(s) red chilli powder
2 tablespoon(s) yoghurt
1 teaspoon(s) chickpea / gram flour (besan)
2 cup(s) water
2 tablespoon(s) ghee (clarified butter) / butter / oil
1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh coriander
salt to taste

Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan on medium level and crackle the mustard and cumin seeds!. Drop in the asafoetida and fry lightly!. Add the red chilli powder and yoghurt!. Mix well and stir fry on medium level for about a minute or two!.
Mix in the turmeric powder, chickpea / gram flour, water and salt!. Bring to a boil!. Add the poppadoms and coriander leaves!. Cook on low level for about 3 minutes or till the poppadoms are cooked!. Adjust the consistency of the curry as desired!.
#TIP:Bite-sized small poppadoms that are also available can be used instead of cutting the big ones!. They would look more presentable!.
Adjust the amount of chickpea flour according to the consistency of the curry required since it gives thickness to the gravy!. Traditionally, the curry is of a thinner consistency!.
Poppadoms or papad u can easily find at any Indian Store because if u want to make poppadom at home its really difficult & it will take several days but if u still want the poppadom recipe then use this link
