Papad, also known as Papadum, is a thin, crispy wafer made from lentil, chickpea, urad, or rice flour, mixed with spices such as black pepper, cumin, chili, or garlic. Originating in South India, papads are traditionally sun-dried and then roasted, fried, or flame-cooked just before serving. They’re served as a crunchy side dish, snack, or appetizer, often paired with pickles, chutneys, or yogurt dips. Papads vary in thickness and flavor across regions and are a staple in both daily meals and festive spreads. Popular varieties include plain papad, masala papad, and Lijjat-brand papads, widely available in homes and restaurants.
