word of the day: papadum

The word of the day is papadum:
an Indian flatbread made of lentil flour, often topped with chutney or various dips or salsas (dictionary.com)
"When I had people to dinner, I loved to serve Michael's complicated recipe for chicken curry, accompanied by condiments and pappadums - although I sometimes served instead a marginally simpler Craig Claiborne recipe for lamb curry that had appeared in Craig's Sunday column in The New York Times.  There were bananas in it, and heavy cream.  I made it recently and it was horrible."
