Description

Pappad (or Papad) is a thin, crisp disc-shaped food typically made from lentil, chickpea, or rice flour. It is often served as an accompaniment to Indian meals or as a snack.

The word pappad is derived from the Sanskrit word “parpaṭa”, referring to a thin, crunchy food item. Over time, regional variations like papadam (South India) and papad (North India) emerged.
