Jeera (Cumin) Papad 200g by Lijjat, 7.05 Ounce (Pack of 20)

Really just like home! Delicious papadum and excellent service. Arrived promptly and more or less intact; some were broken, but that's always the case. Very fresh and of good bouquet. I break them up to fry them because there should be enough hot oil for the papad to double in size, poof! the minute it hits the oil. However I no longer have a dozen people at the table so my khadai (wok) is smaller, the puddle of oil is smaller ... so smaller pieces to go poof is good. When we made them at home and dried them in the sun there was always a lot of breakage; chasing crows! Papadum are thin, brittle, and the cumin or pepper or chillis make holes in them. It's part of the charm! Be glad your papadum are untouched by crows! p.s. I'm not paid, I don't get anything for free... I just like papadum, Lijjat is like home, and they came here fast.

The cumin flavor was just right and not overpowering, and they had the same delicious flavor that I associate with Indian restaurants. I’ve ordered these multiple times, and only one package had a tiny bit of cracked edge, so I was able to cook the entire pack of papadams every time. I was surprised at how long they stay fresh in an airtight container, which made them the perfect snack to have on my counter. Just follow the instructions on how to prepare papadams and you will get perfect results. I always quickly fry in coconut oil or grape seed oil and drain on kitchen paper. I’ve never microwaved them, so I don’t know how they taste or what texture they have.

The item arrived to me in a very flimsy package. The packaging was not padded to protect the item from breakage and therefore my item was broken up into little pieces. This made it diffcult to impossible to cook the item, The papadum did however taste as i expected papdum to taste. It had a nice lite cumin taste. It also was very light and crispy, Definately authentic tasting.

Good quality and flavor, and easy to prepare traditionally or by microwave. Four stars were for the taste, but had I reviewed based on delivery (which was by Amazon's warehouse) it would have been fewer stars; the packaging caused half the papadams to arrive broken into tiny pieces. However, those could still be microwaved and enjoyed.

Not hot like some I've bought very good. Only bad thing is a lot were broken.

I have ordered this product several times times and loved the taste and ease of preparation, I was very disappointed this time to find it arrived, crushed and since it’s a food item, there’s no return policy. I did speak with customer service at Amazon, who remedied the situation. This was not the fault of the seller but of the shipping from Amazon. The product is actually delicious.

Papad was very dry. Broke in small pieces. Expensive Not worth the price.

These arrived quickly with hardly any broken pappadums. I put a few on a paper towel lined plate and microwaved for 50-60 seconds. They turned out perfectly and were so good with the chutneys I had made. I was going to try frying in a pan with oil but the microwave method was so easy and perfect I never bothered with the oil.
