The papadum (singular: papad) is a thin South Asian wafer, sometimes described as a cracker or flatbread, typically made from lentil, chickpea, black gram or rice flour. Salt and peanut oil are added to make a dough, which can be flavored with seasonings such as, for example, chili, cumin, garlic or black pepper. The dough is shaped into a tortilla-like round and can be cooked by deep-frying, roasting over an open flame, toasting, or microwaving, depending on the desired texture. Papadums are typically served as an accompaniment to a meal, an appetizer or a snack and eaten topped with chutney or other dips. Papadums are made in different sizes. The smaller ones can be eaten like a snack chip and the larger ones can be used to make wraps
Other connections Papad occurs in a well known tongue twister - "Kaachu papad, Paku papad" (raw papad, fried papad), something similar to "Good blood, Bad blood" | ||||||||
