Masala Crab Salad with Mango

Pappadams, an addictive Indian flatbread made with lentil flour, can be fried or microwaved into the puffed cracker often served at the start of an Indian meal. They accent the rich, sweet crab salad as a wonderful crisp complement. Look for packages of the thin, dry disks in the ethnic foods aisle of your grocery store, or in specialty food stores.
