1) buy package of papadum in Indian Grocery Store
2) Roast directly on a gas burner or on the grill till crispy

They are usually made with bean flour, which isn't that cheap, so it may be easier to just buy the package.
The ones I pick up (Sharwoods) you heat some tasteless oil, and pop the papdum in the oil for around 15-20 seconds, while holding it down with tongs or similar, flip, repeat then drain on kitchen paper. That allows it to puff up and I far prefer the taste done this way, to microwave etc. Not tried it on a gas burner tho!
