About Papadi

Papadi, also known as crispy flatbread, is a traditional Indian snack commonly used in chaat recipes and festive dishes. Made primarily from refined wheat flour (maida), it is seasoned with ajwain (carom seeds), salt, and sometimes a touch of oil to enhance flavor and texture. Papadi is typically deep-fried, giving it a crunchy and rich profile, though baked versions are available for a lower-fat alternative. While it provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content, Papadi is high in refined grains and is often fried, making it calorie-dense and lower in nutritional value compared to whole grain options. It is best enjoyed in small quantities or as a base for nutrient-rich toppings like yogurt, chickpeas, and fresh vegetables in chaat dishes. Papadi reflects the vibrant flavors and versatility of Indian cuisine, offering indulgence while reminding us to balance it with healthier choices.
