Papadom, also known as papad, is a thin, crispy flatbread originating from Indian cuisine. Made primarily from lentil, chickpea, black gram, or rice flour, it is typically seasoned with spices like cumin, pepper, and garlic for added flavor. Papadoms are often dried and then fried, roasted, or microwaved for a light, crunchy texture, serving as an accompaniment to curries or as a snack. Rich in protein and fiber due to its base ingredients, papadom can support digestion when consumed in moderation. However, fried varieties may be high in fat and sodium, which should be considered if you’re watching your calorie or salt intake. Opting for roasted or microwave-cooked papadoms can be a healthier choice. This versatile dish is gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities. Despite its light appearance, balance is key when incorporating papadom into a diet.
