Papadum is a thin, crispy flatbread commonly enjoyed in South Asian cuisine, particularly in India. Made primarily from lentil, chickpea, or rice flour, it is seasoned with spices like cumin, black pepper, or asafoetida before being rolled out and cooked—typically fried, roasted, or grilled. Rich in flavor, papadum is often served as an appetizer, snack, or accompaniment to meals. Its lentil base makes it a source of protein and fiber, contributing to digestive health and supporting muscle repair. However, papadum is frequently fried, which can increase its fat and calorie content, making moderation key for those monitoring their diet. Roasting or grilling can be healthier preparation methods. While it is gluten-free if made from lentil or chickpea flour, some variations include wheat, so those with sensitivities should check ingredient labels. Papadum offers a versatile and flavorful addition to meals, blending nutrition with indulgent crispiness.
