Poppadum, also spelled papadum or papad, is a thin, crisp Indian flatbread made from seasoned lentil, chickpea, rice, or black gram flour. A staple in South Asian cuisine, it is typically enjoyed as an accompaniment to meals or as a snack. Traditionally, poppadums are sun-dried and then either deep-fried, roasted, or microwaved until crispy. Rich in protein and fiber due to the use of legume flours, they can be a light, low-calorie option when roasted instead of fried. However, deep-fried versions can be high in fat and sodium, especially with added seasonings. Poppadums are gluten-free and can offer a satisfying crunch to meals, pairing well with chutneys, curries, or salads. Moderation is key to enjoying this flavorful dish as part of a balanced diet.
