PAPADOMS

Indian cuisine's subtle layering of flavours is increasingly replacing the ubiquitous Indian curry as the nation's favourite food, but with so many restaurants to choose from how can you be sure of quality? Papdoms, situated in the heart of Brick Lane, close to Liverpool Street and Shoreditch, is a part of London that will be forever food of India.

Using the very finest ingredients sourced from the best suppliers, both locally and abroad, the restaurant serves genuine Indian dishes from each of the four main culinary regions: rich and mild dishes from the north, spicy food from the east, mild dishes influenced by the Bangladesh cooking style from the central region, and hot and spicy food from the south.

The team at Papadoms is committed to offering customers a wonderful dining experience with a taste of warm Indian hospitality.

Papadom (also known as Papad in Northern India or Appadam in Telugu and Pappadum in the rest of south India; spellings vary) is a thin, crisp disc-shaped Indian food typically based on seasoned dough made from black gram (urad flour), fried or cooked with dry heat. Flours made from other sources such as lentils, chickpeas, rice, or potato, can be used. Papadoms are typically served as an accompaniment to a meal in India, or as an appetiser or snack, sometimes with toppings such as chopped onions, chutneys or other dips and condiments. In certain parts of India, papadums which have been dried but not precooked are used in curries and vegetable dishes.

In Kerala, guruvayoor pappadums are very popular as an ingredient of Kerala Sadhya. In Kerala, people from the Pandaaram caste prepare pappadums. In North India, the lentil variety is more popular and is usually called 'papad'.
