Pappadam, also known as papad, is a thin, crisp flatbread originating from Indian cuisine. Made primarily from black gram flour (urad dal), lentils, chickpeas, rice, or potato flour, it is combined with spices like cumin, pepper, or chili for added flavor. Typically sun-dried and then fried or roasted, pappadams are a popular accompaniment to Indian meals and are often served with chutneys or pickles. They are gluten-free and rich in protein and dietary fiber, making them a suitable snack for various dietary preferences. However, traditional preparation methods such as deep frying can increase calorie and fat content significantly. Opting for roasted or baked versions can provide a lighter alternative. Pappadams also contain sodium from added salt, which may be a concern for individuals managing blood pressure. As a flavorful and versatile food item, they can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
