Poppadums / pappadams are those very thin breads served in Indian

restaurants while you are waiting for your food to arrive. You can buy

them in any Indian grocery store. Preferable ways to heat them up are

grilling, or a friend of mine uses the microwave.

 

We had them tonight before an excellent Indian meal, but still I think a

google search came up with a better description:

 

Encyclopedia

pappadam; poppadum  

 

[ PAH-pah-duhm ] A wafer-thin East Indian bread made with LENTIL flour.

This TORTILLA -like bread can be unseasoned (as preferred in southern

India) or variously flavored with red or black pepper, garlic or other

seasonings, as in northern India. Pappadams are available in Indian

markets in various sizes and flavors. Deep-fried pappadams puff up to

almost double their original size. Grilling them over an open flame will

give them a smoky flavor.  

 

Hope this helps. Warmest regards,

Sorry, I didn't know you were serious. They're also known as Papadum. The

Google search below leads to definitions and recipes for and with them. Not

all of the recipes are veg.
