Pappadom, also known as papad, is a thin, crispy flatbread commonly enjoyed in South Asian cuisine. Originating from India, it’s made from ingredients like black gram flour (urad dal), chickpea flour, or lentil flour, often seasoned with spices such as cumin, black pepper, or chili. Pappadoms are typically sun-dried and can be roasted or fried to enhance their texture and flavor. Rich in protein and fiber due to the pulse-based flour, pappadoms can be a light, gluten-free accompaniment to meals. Roasting them instead of frying keeps their calorie and fat content lower, making them a healthier choice. However, their sodium levels can be high due to added salt and spices during preparation. Served with chutneys or curries, pappadoms provide a crunchy contrast but should be consumed moderately, particularly if fried, as this increases the fat content.
