Description:
Jira papad, also known as cumin papad, is a type of Indian papad (thin, crispy wafer) flavored primarily with cumin seeds (jira). Made from a mixture of lentil flour (typically urad dal or moong dal) and spices, these papads are seasoned with cumin seeds to impart a distinctively aromatic and slightly spicy flavor. Jira papads are traditionally roasted or fried before serving, resulting in a crunchy texture that complements various Indian dishes. They are appreciated for their simplicity and the earthy, nutty taste of cumin seeds, making them a popular choice as a crispy accompaniment or a light snack.
