What makes a good appalam

From the dal to the drying, the details that make an appalam crisp, light and worth putting on the table.

An appalam is a simple thing to eat and a careful thing to make. It sits beside rice and dal, rasam or sambar, and adds the crunch that makes a meal feel complete. When it is good, nobody comments. When it is not, everyone notices.

It starts with the dal

Granvia Premium Appalam Papad is made with pure urad dal. Urad dal gives appalam its familiar flavour and the light, crisp texture it develops when it meets hot oil.

Made by hand, dried by the sun

Our appalam is hand crafted and sun dried. Drying slowly helps the appalam keep its shape and fry evenly. It is also made in a large diameter, so a single piece is generous on the plate.

A small part of a shared table

Appalam has always been a food for sharing, at everyday meals and at gatherings. Making it well is a way of respecting that place on the table.
