Eat it With Coriander and Veggies

Since papadums are usually pre-seasoned they don’t usually need any more toppings and can easily be eaten alone. Slice some scallions, red tomatoes, and white onions thinly for a light topping that will leave you feeling full.

Indian is always great to me but @bawarchibirmingham is superb! It is definitely the place to dine if you are looking for quality Indian food in the hoover area. Spice levels are actually on point!🌶🌶 • What I have pictured here is my favorite side dish aside from garlic naan🤤.. it’s called “papadum” and is often made with lentils, chickpeas, and more. Its best when served with mint chutney or tamarind sauce. I absolutely can not leave the restaurant without this or garlic naan. Want to learn how to make it, it’s so seriousss! 😋 • • • #indian #indianfood #bawarchi #southernindianfood #asian #asia #papadum #mintchutney #foodgasm #goodeats #foodpics #foodoftheday #foodlover #instafoodie #foodie #foods #foodiegram #bhameats #anidaeats

Top it With Curry

Lamb curry, chicken curry, tofu curry – you name it. All kinds of curry go great with papadum. Make sure to lift most of the meat or veggies onto the papadum and avoid making it too saucy since it might collapse. Enjoy and happy eating!
