Popadom, also spelled papad, is a thin, crispy disc made primarily from lentil, chickpea, black gram, or rice flour. Popular in South Asian cuisine, particularly Indian, it is often enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or accompaniment to meals. Traditionally seasoned with spices like cumin, black pepper, or chili, popadoms are typically fried or roasted, resulting in their crunchy texture. Popadoms are gluten-free, high in protein if made from lentils, and relatively low in calories. However, their healthiness depends on preparation; fried popadoms can be high in fats and calories, while roasted versions are lighter. Additionally, their high sodium content from seasoning makes portion control important for a balanced diet. Versatile and flavorful, popadoms complement various dips and chutneys, providing a satisfying contrast to heavier dishes in a meal.
