Annam Jeera Papad is a classic Indian crisp made from lentil-based papad dough and flavored with aromatic jeera (cumin). Light, thin and delightfully crunchy, it brings a warm, savory cumin note that complements hot meals or works as a standalone snack. The papads are packaged ready-to-roast so you can quickly prepare a fresh, crisp accompaniment to rice, dal and curries or serve them with chutneys and pickles as a crunchy starter. Their delicate texture and balanced seasoning make them a popular choice for everyday meals and festive occasions alike.

To use, separate a papad and choose your preferred cooking method. For an authentic smoky flavor, hold the papad with tongs and roast it directly over a medium gas flame, turning quickly until it puffs and becomes crisp. Alternatively, roast on a dry tava (griddle) over medium heat, pressing gently to cook evenly, or microwave on high for about 20–45 seconds, checking to avoid burning. For a crispier, golden finish, deep-fry briefly in hot oil until the papad puffs and drains well on paper towel. Serve immediately for best crunch.
