Papadam

Papadam, also spelled as poppadom, is a delightful snack originating from the Indian subcontinent. These thin, crispy wafers are made from various flours, including black gram bean flour, lentils, chickpeas, rice, tapioca, millet, or potato.

Papadam is typically served as an accompaniment to meals in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the Caribbean. It can also be enjoyed as an appetizer, often paired with flavorful dips like chutneys or topped with chopped onions and chili peppers. Additionally, papadam can be used as an ingredient in curries.
