Q. Is appalam good for health?

Answer

Rice chickpeas flour potatoes lentils or black gramme as well as a variety of spices salt and peanut oil are commonly used to make a wide variety of papads. After everything is mashed together the dough is shaped into flat round loaves and dried in the sun. This meal has a high protein content and a high fibre content. After that the meal is either roasted in the oven or fried in oil. When viewed in their whole the contents may appear to be beneficial to one's health; but with closer inspection one will discover that the product in question is most certainly not intended for unrestricted use. All dry-roasted varieties of papads have a poor nutritional profile. According to a research that was published not too long ago the presence of sodium benzoate in papads causes acrylamide to be produced whether the papads are fried dry roasted or roasted in a microwave. Acrylamide is a potential carcinogen.
