  • Small Business
  • A quintessentially Rajasthani Papad made with Moong daal (lentils)
  • Its very light on the gut since moong daal is the lightest of all Daals.
  • Papad was consumed at the end of the meal by our forefathers to lower the Glycemic load of the meal thus keeping us full for a longer time.
  • Unfortunately today it's considered to be unhealthy because of the way its made commercially with cheaper ingredients. If eaten when prepared the right way, in the right quantity it has many nutritional benefits.
  • How LOW SALT?
    • Unlike commercial papads all our papads are made with Papad Khar or Sajji salt. Sajji was traditionally used to make papads by our ancestors. Today commercial papad manufacturers use cheap substitutes for Saji like Soda Bicarbonate which makes the Papad high in Sodium thus causing lifestyle diseases like Blood pressure and are bad for the stomach. 
  • Our papads don't stick to the jaws like commercial papads do because they are made with premium ingredients and spices using artisanal techniques our ancestors had used. These are not mass-produced, factory-made papads. Ours are hand made, sun-dried which is evident from the fact that they may slightly vary in size.
  • Its mildly spiced with black pepper just like our Grandma's used to make. 
  • Serve them with the meal or as a snack and embellish your meal everytime with minimal effort. 
    • Taste- Savoury
    • Weight- 500gms

    Recipes using Moong Papad, Low Salt

    FAQs

    Why do some doctors advise against eating papad?

    Many commercially produced papads contain high levels of sodium and preservatives, which can contribute to health issues such as hypertension and digestive problems.

    What makes Old Fashioned Gourmet papad better?

    Our papads are crafted using premium ingredients and traditional methods, including natural fermentation, hand-rolling, and sun-drying. We incorporate Saaji (natural crystal) and Sendha Namak (Himalayan pink salt) instead of sodium bicarbonate and common salt. This approach results in a healthier, low-sodium papad that is both malleable and flavorful.

    Why is papad traditionally included in meals?

    Papad adds a delightful crunch and enhances the overall texture of a meal. Made primarily from lentils, it contributes dietary fiber and protein, aiding digestion and complementing the nutritional profile of the meal and reducing the Glycemic load of the meal keeping us feeling full for longer.

    How much papad should I eat?

    As Amma used to say, papad should be enjoyed as a condiment, not as a main dish. Consuming half to one papad per meal is sufficient to enhance your dining experience without overindulgence.
