Poppadoms are thin, crisp discs typically made from black gram (urad) flour, water, and spices, common in Indian cuisine. These savory snacks are often flavored with ingredients like black pepper, cumin, or chili, and they can be fried, roasted, or microwaved to achieve their crisp texture. Originating from traditional Indian cooking, poppadoms are usually served as an appetizer or alongside main dishes to complement the meal. While they are relatively low in calories and gluten-free, they can be high in fat if deep-fried. Roasting or microwaving offers a healthier alternative by reducing the added oil content. Poppadoms are a good source of protein due to the black gram flour but should be consumed in moderation, especially when paired with rich chutneys or dips. Their versatility and distinctive crunch make them an enduring favorite in South Asian and global cuisine.
