Papadam

About Papadam

Papadam, also known as papadum, is a thin, crisp Indian flatbread made from lentil, chickpea, rice, or potato flour. It's typically seasoned with spices like cumin or black pepper and then dried.

Papadams are usually deep-fried or roasted before consumption. They are low in calories and a source of dietary fiber and protein due to the lentil or chickpea content. However, the deep-frying process can add extra calories, so roasting or microwaving papadams is a healthier option.

They are often served as an appetizer or side dish in Indian cuisine.
