For generations, pappadam (or papadam) has been more than just a snack—it is a symbol of Kerala’s rich culinary tradition. Crispy, flavorful, and loved by households across India and beyond, pappadam has always held a special place on the dining table. However, behind this beloved delicacy lies a major challenge faced by manufacturers: drying pappadam, especially during the rainy season.
