About Papadums

Papadums are thin, crispy flatbreads traditionally enjoyed in Indian cuisine. Made from lentil flour, chickpea flour, rice, or potato flour, they are typically mixed with spices like cumin, black pepper, or chili to add flavor. These versatile snacks can be fried, roasted, or microwaved, with frying producing the crispest texture. Papadums are often served as appetizers or accompaniments to meals, providing a delightful crunch to complement curries and chutneys. Nutritionally, they are low in calories when roasted but can become calorie-dense and higher in fats when fried. Rich in protein and fiber, thanks to the lentil or chickpea base, they offer some nutritional benefits but should be consumed in moderation due to their potential salt content and the oil used during cooking. Papadums are a delicious and culturally significant addition to meals, especially when balanced with healthier preparation methods.
