At least triangle vadaam use pannirkalam,” commented a Twitter user. “I wonder if they’ll call “moong ka papad” as black dotted nachos? And I’m pretty satisfied with the ₹2 papad which I get with masala powder. I can’t afford the 27 dollars lol,” shared another. “Had the chicken version in Kuala Lumpur recently and it was not this expensive either. Pretty good in fact,” expressed a third. “That’s quite funny, calling pappadam as Asian nachos,” wrote a fourth.
