About Poppadom
Poppadoms, also spelled papadums, are thin, crispy wafers originating from Indian cuisine. Made primarily from lentil, chickpea, rice, or black gram flour, these flatbreads are typically seasoned with spices like cumin or black pepper before being sun-dried and cooked by frying, roasting, or grilling. They are a staple in South Asian meals, often served as an appetizer or accompaniment to curries and chutneys. Nutritionally, poppadoms are high in protein due to legume-based flours and are naturally gluten-free. However, the healthiness depends on preparation; frying increases their fat and calorie content, while roasting or grilling provides a lighter option. They are also relatively low in fiber and sodium unless additional salt is added, which can make them less ideal when consumed in excess. Pairing them with fresh vegetables or yogurt-based dips can enhance their nutritional value in a balanced diet.
