Trust me to pick such a challenging recipe! ...i have tried making Poppodums from a recipe i found in an old recipe book 20 plus years old, it was a base of 8oz plain flour 1oz wheat flour pinch of curry powder 1 egg 1 tsp of oil, 3tbs warm water. I followed the recipe exactly, left them to dry out till brittle, sure enough they looked like poppadums once cooked, but they didnt have that same texture, normally they are very crisp and light, mine seemed a little heavy somewhat crisp but more chewy, nothing like the real thing! 
....i have tried diffeent thicknesses, from thick to wafer thin, so thin you could see through them, even tried different oil temperatures, still no luck! ....it must be the recipe, any one help? i don't seem to be able to find a decent recipe. I know i know, i could just go and buy them, thats boring! and it would mean this recipe has beaten me lol, i don't care if it take 40 years to per-fect, i won't give up! 
...hope you can help ....
