Handmade Papad: How to Choose the Right Flavour for Your Meal
A meal can feel complete with one simple finishing touch: a crisp papad on the side. Whether you are serving dal and rice, a Gujarati thali or a relaxed family lunch, handmade papad adds texture and a flavour of its own. The best choice starts with what your household enjoys, rather than choosing the strongest spice or the largest pack.
What is handmade papad?
Papad is a thin disc prepared from a seasoned dough and dried before cooking. Different varieties use different flour bases and seasonings. Handmade papad involves handwork in its preparation or shaping; the exact process varies between producers. It describes a method of making papad, rather than a promise about nutrition, ingredients or shelf life.
At Jainam Papad, the handmade papad collection includes several flavours, so you can choose an everyday favourite and try something different alongside it.

Urad and udad: two names to recognise
You may see both “urad papad” and “udad papad” while shopping. These spellings refer to the same dal name in this context. For the actual flour blend and other ingredients in a particular product, read its pack label.
What to check before buying handmade papad online
Compare the flavour, net weight and pack options. A smaller pack is useful when trying a variety for the first time; a larger pack may suit a household that prepares papad regularly. Check ingredients, allergen information, cooking directions and the best-before date. For a specific Jain dietary requirement, confirm the ingredients rather than relying only on a product name.
Before checkout, review the delivery details for your address and our shipping policy. Then choose a flavour you will enjoy serving, cook it according to the pack directions and bring it to the table just before eating.
