How many calories in a poppadom?

Answer 1

At an Indian foods market, poppadoms are typically bought in a package of 20 or so. The package is usually around 200 grams as the label will state. And there is nutritional information on the package although a little difficult to make the grams to calories translation. But they say one serving size is around 30 grams and is about 65 calories. So 3 poppadoms would be about 65 calories total and 22.5 calories each. Restaurant versions may transfer some oil in the cooking process but the homemade versions are very healthy and make for a great snack.

(All cooking oil contains about 120 calories per tablespoon. Cooked poppadom for eating will therefore absorb enough cooking oil to increase its calorie count to above 100 each.)
