Pappadoms (Pappads / Appalam / Pappadams) are thin round wafers usually made using Urad dal. Earlier, people used to make Pappadoms at home from scratch. But now, many varieties of them are common and easily available in the market.
Pappadoms are ineluctable in a Kerala feast (Sadhya). They are usually deep fried and served with rice. Its combination with Payasam (a South Indian dessert) and Pazham (Ripe Banana) is a must-try.
Now give the Pappadoms a spicy twist by making this tasty and crunchy Pappadom Thoran. Try and enjoy it with hot rice!
