papadams
Lentil flour wafers
Papadams are thin, crispy Indian flatbreads made from lentil, chickpea, or rice flour, typically served as an appetizer or side dish.
They're fried or roasted until brittle and often accompanied by chutneys: We started with papadams and mango chutney.
Also spelled papadum, poppadom, or papad.
