Papad, also known as papadam, is a thin, crisp, and wafer-like flatbread originating from Indian cuisine. Typically made from black gram flour (urad dal), chickpea, or lentil flour, it is seasoned with spices such as black pepper, cumin, and asafoetida to create its signature savory flavor. Papad is usually dry-roasted, fried, or microwaved before consumption, making it a popular appetizer or accompaniment during meals. While low in calories, its nutritional profile contains protein and dietary fiber from legumes, making it a light yet satisfying addition to a plate. However, health considerations depend on its preparation method: frying significantly increases fat content, while dry-roasting retains its lighter essence. Papad is gluten-free when made from lentil flour, catering to dietary restrictions, but its high sodium and spice levels may not suit everyone. Versatile and easy to store, papad remains a global favorite for its crunchy texture and robust flavor.
