Papad, also known in India as Papadam or Appalam, is a savory and crunchy snack that is served as an appetizer or a side dish across households in India. From a basic Dal rice or roti platter to a South Indian platter of sambar or rasam rice, the dishes feel incomplete without crispy papad on the side. The papad is also consumed as a savory snack while sipping your evening tea. It is the healthiest form of snack as it is low in calories and provides you with the right amount of nutrition.
