Papadum, also known as papad, is a thin, crispy flatbread commonly served as a snack or accompaniment in Indian cuisine. Made primarily from lentil flour, chickpea flour, rice flour, or black gram flour, it is seasoned with spices like black pepper, cumin, or chili for added flavor. Papadum is traditionally cooked by roasting, frying, or microwaving to achieve its signature crunch. Nutritionally, it is a low-calorie option, rich in plant-based proteins and fiber, depending on the base ingredients used. Papadums are often gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities. However, fried versions can be high in oil and sodium, which may be a consideration for those monitoring fat or salt intake. Despite this, their versatility and ability to elevate dishes with texture and taste make papadums a cherished part of South Asian meals.
