About Popadum
Popadum, also known as papad, is a thin, crispy flatbread originating from Indian cuisine. Traditionally, it is made from a dough of lentil, chickpea, black gram, or rice flour, combined with spices like cumin, black pepper, and chili powder for added flavor. Popadums are typically roasted, fried, or microwaved until they puff up and become light and crunchy. Rich in plant-based protein due to its high legume content, popadum can be a nutritious accompaniment to meals, especially when roasted rather than fried to minimize oil content. It is gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. However, fried popadums can be high in fat and sodium, so moderation is advised for those mindful of their salt and calorie intake. Commonly served as a snack or side dish, popadum remains a versatile and flavorful staple in Indian cuisine.
