We can’t think of dining without side dishes. Having meals without the accompaniment of side dishes is unthinkable for us.

  Side dishes play an important role in our food culture from time immemorial. In their quest for diversity in taste, men have always come up with different kinds of dishes. Papad or appalam is such a great discovery as far as our food culture is concerned.

  Papad has been considered an unavoidable supplement in the dining tables in India. The simple but delicious Pappadam has found a place in various cultures and peoples, irrespective of differences like economic status, caste, creed, place, etc. Papad is a traditional food item of India, which is usually consumed with Sambar/Rasam as a side-dish. They have the appearance of thin wafers and are prepared with a flour (usually Urad Dal flour). The flour, which maybe mixed with other ingredients that might include spices like jeera and pepper, is first made into a smooth dough with the addition of water. The dough is then kneaded and rolled out into papads, and dried in indirect sunlight for 4-5 hours. Finally, these are stored in air-tight containers. The papads are then deep-fried, roasted or grilled to produce the tasty dish that we relish and enjoy. Papads are available in various sizes.

  Bangalore-based Pooja Products is one of the leading Papad manufacturers in Karnataka. The company has a tradition of 20 years in the production and marketing of Papad all over Karnataka. We have 25 different varieties of Papad in various tastes and forms, made from superior quality raw materials and ensuring high standards in production.   

  This wouldnt have been possible without continuous expansion efforts. It is only because of our sincerity and hardwork that today this brand is recognized and has numerous assets attached to it. As of now we own a 50 % domination in South Indian Market.
