- 1印度脆餅(帕帕當)
A poppadom is a large, round, very thin Indian bread, usually fried in oil until it is crisp (sometimes cooked over a flame instead). You break it with your hands and eat it with dips, pickle, or a curry. In British Indian restaurants it often arrives before the meal, while you wait. English spelling jumps around: poppadom, poppadum, papadum, papad — all the same food. The word was borrowed from Tamil pappaṭam, from a word, and it only became a regular English restaurant word around 1940. Papad is a shorter sister-form of the same word. Though actually it is more like a crisp than like naan or roti, which stay soft.
組成Borrowed from Tamil பப்படம் (pappaṭam), from Sanskrit पर्पट (parpaṭa). Doublet of papad.
