One medium papad is a thin, crisp wafer made from lentil, chickpea, or black gram flour, often seasoned with spices like black pepper, cumin, chili, or asafetida for distinctive flavors. Papad is a staple of Indian cuisine, commonly served as a crunchy accompaniment to main meals or enjoyed as a snack. It is typically sun-dried or roasted for a lower-calorie option, though frying increases fat content significantly. Papad is a gluten-free food and provides a modest source of protein and fiber due to its lentil base. However, it can be high in sodium, especially when seasoned heavily, which may not be suitable for those watching their salt intake. When consumed in moderation and prepared using healthier methods like roasting, papad offers a flavorful, light addition to your diet without overloading on calories or fat.
