About Popadoms

Popadoms, also known as papad, are thin, crispy rounds typically made from lentil, chickpea, black gram, or rice flour. Originating in Indian cuisine, they are a staple accompaniment to meals, often served as a snack or appetizer alongside chutneys and dips. These discs are traditionally seasoned with spices like cumin, black pepper, or chili flakes, adding a burst of flavor. Popadoms are usually fried, though they're also available in roasted or microwavable versions for a lower-fat option. Because they are made from legume-based flours, they offer a source of protein and dietary fiber. However, fried popadoms are high in calories and fat, so moderation is key for a balanced diet. Gluten-free and versatile, they cater to various dietary preferences, making them an adaptable choice for many meals. Perfect for satisfying a crunchy craving, popadoms combine tradition with taste.
