It is known by different names in India but I have not found out what it is called in English
Papadams can be made from different items - rice, pulses, sweet potato, jack fruit. Some are savoury and some sweet. They can be eaten as snacks or even as appetizers along with food.
My favourite is rice, sweet potato and sago We have attempted to make them at home but since they are available in stores we prefer to buiy them.
Papadams can be stored for long periods When required they are deep fried.

I think I saw one of these at an Indian food stall in the hawker center at Little India, Singapore. Sadly, I couldn’t try it because we were already full when we visited. Indian cuisine is a significant part of Singaporean food culture, combining influences from Malay, Indonesian, and British traditions to create unique fusion dishes.

In north India we call it papad. It can be deep fried in oil and also can be singed directly on fire . Both ways it must be crisp and crunchy. In Bengali wedding dinners it is served usually with sweet chutney .
