Papad, also known as papadum, is a thin, crisp, round flatbread originating from Indian cuisine. Made primarily from lentil flour or chickpea flour, it may also include spices like cumin, black pepper, or asafoetida to enhance flavor. Papad is a versatile food item, often served as a snack, appetizer, or accompaniment to meals. It can be roasted, fried, or dried for preparation. Rich in dietary fiber and protein, papad is a light and satisfying addition to meals. However, its healthfulness depends on preparation methods—the roasted variety is lower in fat, while frying adds significant calories and unhealthy fats. Gluten-free versions are available, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. While flavorful and easy to digest, it’s also high in sodium due to added salt in seasoning, so moderation is key for maintaining a balanced diet.
