Thin lentil-flour wafers, plain or spiced, dried and ready to fry. A staple Sri Lankan export.

Papadam is a thin, crisp wafer made from lentil or gram flour dough, rolled and dried. Sold uncooked, it is fried or microwaved just before eating, when it puffs up. It is served with rice and curry across Sri Lanka and South Asia, and in restaurants abroad. Sri Lanka exported about US$21 million of papadam, rusks and similar bakery items in 2025.
