Plain Papads

EverydayDry

Plain papads are thin, crisp South Asian wafers traditionally made from seasoned lentil, chickpea, or rice flour dough that is sun-dried for preservation. These uncooked discs require brief frying, roasting, or microwaving to achieve their signature bubbly texture and nutty flavor. While low in calories when dry, their final fat content depends on preparation method, and they provide modest plant-based protein and fiber from their legume base. Papads are commonly served as a gluten-free accompaniment to meals or as a crunchy snack.
