Poppadoms, along with naan breads, are a popular accompaniment for curries. However, if you’re trying to keep your calorie and fat content down, avoid naan bread at all costs (unless you can get by with tearing off a small section).
Naan breads can have anything from 200 to 400+ calories. Poppadoms on the other hand, have far fewer calories with Sharwoods having just 37 calories each.
Poppadoms are a flatbread made from special flours, such as lentil, urid or chickpea. They’re like a large, crunchy crisp which are perfect to eat with a curry or for dipping into any other side dishes. But they’re equally as good with many other types of Asian meals, not just Indian curries.

Sharwood Poppadoms contain 8 per pack and they're available in supermarkets and convenience stores.
