PAPPADAM

Papadam (also spelled Papadum) is a popular, crispy, and thin Indian snack or accompaniment, particularly prevalent in Kerala, a state in southern India. It is typically made from urad dal (black gram) flour, rice flour, seasonings, and sometimes spices. Kerala papadams are traditionally deep-fried to achieve a crisp texture but can also be roasted or microwaved for a healthier alternative.
