• I followed these steps to make a cone from the papad. First divide the papad equally using a knife. 

•  Take the pan you used to fry your papads,when the oil is bearable,not too hot.Dip the divided papad slowly and take it out quickly.Now it will be able to be folded.

•  Carefully roll it the shape of a cone

•  Using the tong hold the edges of the cone and fry them in the hot oil.

• Now as said above for the normal masala papad ,fill the papad cone's with the chopped onion,tomato.
