About Papadoms

Papadoms, also known as papads, are thin, crisp wafers commonly served as a side or snack in Indian cuisine. Made primarily from lentil flour, black gram flour, or chickpea flour, they are mixed with spices like cumin, black pepper, or chili for flavor. Papadoms are usually either deep-fried, roasted over an open flame, or microwaved, each preparation impacting their nutritional profile. Rich in protein due to the legume-based flour, they are naturally gluten-free and a good source of plant-based nutrients. However, the frying process can add significant fat and calories, making roasted or microwaved versions a healthier alternative. Low in moisture, they are shelf-stable and commonly served as an appetizer alongside chutneys or other dips. Despite their appealing crunch and flavor, moderation is key as processed versions may contain added salt or preservatives. Papadoms offer a flavorful contribution but should be balanced within a well-rounded diet.
