Pappad, also known as papadum, is a thin, crispy flatbread originating from Indian cuisine. It is typically made from a dough of lentil, chickpea, black gram, or rice flour, along with spices such as black pepper, cumin, or chili for added flavor. Traditionally, pappads are sun-dried and then fried, roasted, or microwaved before serving. Rich in protein and fiber due to its lentil or legume base, it offers some nutritional benefits when consumed in moderation. However, fried versions are high in fat and calories, making roasting or microwaving healthier preparation options. Pappad is often served as a snack, appetizer, or accompaniment to Indian meals, providing a satisfyingly crunchy texture. While its nutrient content depends on preparation and ingredients, pappad can be a flavorful addition to a balanced diet when enjoyed in appropriate portions.
