About Appalam
Appalam, also known as papad, is a traditional South Indian accompaniment made from a blend of urad dal flour, salt, and spices. This wafer-thin and crispy disk is typically sun-dried and then fried or roasted before serving, adding texture and flavor to meals. Appalam is an integral part of South Indian cuisine, often paired with rice dishes or enjoyed as a snack. Rich in protein due to the urad dal, Appalam provides some nutritional value, but its healthiness largely depends on preparation methods. Roasting is a lower-calorie option, while frying adds fat and calories. Though flavorful and light, Appalam should be consumed in moderation, as it is high in sodium and can be processed with preservatives. Its appealing crunch and ability to complement various dishes make it a popular choice, but a balanced approach is key to maintaining nutritional benefits.
