Naturally gluten-free, Pappadums are thin lentil chips and probably the most commonly eaten Indian food around the world. Pappadums are dried to preserve flavor and fried in hot oil, which almost magically transforms them into light, crispy puffs of uniquely shaped chips. Pappadums are best served with chutneys and relishes.

We tried two of Patak’s Pappadums flavaors; Black Peppercorn and Garlic.

Black Peppercorn Pappadums:

Ingredients:

Lentil flour, rice flour, salt, tapioca starch, black pepper, spices, sunflower oil, sodium bicarbonate.

Pappadums have a wonderful flavor and texture and are great fun to prepare. They literally grow before your eyes when placed into hot oil. The Black Pepper flavor was our favorite and adds a nice peppery flavor to the light chip.

Garlic Pappadums:

Ingredients:

Lentil flour, rice flour, salt, tapioca starch, garlic, spices, chile pepper, sunflower oil, sodium bicarbonate.

Garlic Pappadums have a light garlic flavor which enhances the lentil chip instead of overwhelming it. A little less versatile as far as what condiment you match with it.
