About Pappadum
Pappadum, also known as papad, is a thin, crispy flatbread originating from Indian cuisine. Made primarily from lentil, chickpea, black gram, or rice flour, it is seasoned with spices like black pepper, cumin, or chili to enhance its flavor. These circular wafers are traditionally sun-dried and cooked by roasting, frying, or microwaving, creating a light yet crunchy texture. Pappadum is often served as a snack, appetizer, or accompaniment to meals, adding a burst of flavor and texture to dishes. Nutritionally, pappadum is low in calories and rich in protein, thanks to its lentil-based content. However, fried versions may contain high levels of fat and sodium, making moderation important for heart health. Opting for roasted or microwaved preparation provides a healthier alternative. Its high protein content and ease of digestion make pappadum a suitable option for light snacking, especially when paired with fresh salads or dips.
