അരി പപ്പടം / Ari Pappadam

Pappad (also known as Papadam) is a thin, crispy, and flavorful Indian wafer made from seasoned lentil flour, typically urad dal (black gram). It is a staple accompaniment in Indian cuisine, often served alongside meals or as a crunchy snack. Pappads are available in various flavors, including plain, spicy, or infused with ingredients like black pepper, cumin, or garlic. They can be fried, roasted, or microwaved to achieve their signature crisp texture. Traditionally enjoyed with rice dishes, curries, and pickles, Pappad also pairs well with chutneys or yogurt-based dips. Its light and crunchy bite adds a delightful contrast to any meal, making it a versatile and beloved addition to Indian dining.
