Papad, also known as papadam, is a thin, crisp, disc-shaped Indian flatbread. It's typically made from seasoned dough of black gram (urad flour), lentil, chickpea, rice flour, or potato. The dough is then sun-dried before being roasted, fried, or microwaved. It offers a diverse range of flavors depending on the spices used, from mild and savory to spicy and tangy. The texture is very brittle and crunchy, providing a satisfying snap with each bite. In its uncooked form, papad is usually a light beige or speckled brown; when cooked, it becomes translucent and slightly darker.

Papad should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its crispness. Once opened, ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can make them soggy. Room temperature is generally suitable for storage, but in humid climates, storing them in the refrigerator (in an airtight container) can prolong their shelf life. Freezing is not recommended as it can affect the texture.
