Pappadoms are thin, crispy flatbreads made primarily from lentil, chickpea, or rice flour, often seasoned with spices like cumin, black pepper, or chili. Originating from Indian cuisine, they are a staple accompaniment to meals and are frequently served as an appetizer or snack. Pappadoms are typically cooked by frying, roasting, or microwaving, which affects their calorie and fat content—fried versions can be higher in fat compared to roasted ones. Nutritionally, they are a good source of protein and dietary fiber due to their lentil or chickpea base, and they contain essential vitamins and minerals. However, pappadoms may be high in sodium and calories depending on preparation methods and added salt. Pairing them with healthy chutneys or yogurt dips can enhance their nutritional profile while keeping portions moderate.
