Pappadums, Puppodums or Poppadums?

Does anyone know what the difference is between pappadums, puppodums or poppadums?

The Co-Op in Clifton Nottingham seems to sell all three.

The correct spell is "Pappadums" in India. Later by time it is westernised with different spelling of Poppadums, Puppodums etc., The south india variants are "Pappadums" whereas the north variants are "Pappads" which are thicker. There is nothing wrong in any of these spellings.

Spelling. Duh!

Although they can also be known as Pappads.

I go for poppadums personally because puppodums sounds like something I'd like to bury my head in...

The variant spellings which have been listed in Oxford dictionaries include papadam, papaddam, papadom, papadum, papodam, papodum, popadam, popadom, poppadam, poppadom, poppadum, poppodam, puppadum, puppodam, puppodum. However, there is nothing to say that you cannot use the unlisted spellings papodom, popadum, poppodom, poppodum, puppadam, puppadom, and puppodom. Take your pick!

Not only did I not know the difference, I'd never heard of pappadums before visiting your site (and thanks for visiting mine.)

As with many words from foreign languages which have their own alphabets, there is no universally accepted way of transcribing the Tamil name of this food into English. The Concise Oxford Dictionary (1999) lists the word at poppadom, but mentions poppadum, and popadom, as alternatives. The variant spellings which have been listed in Oxford dictionaries include papadam, papaddam, papadom, papadum, papodam, papodum, popadam, popadom, poppadam, poppadom, poppadum, poppodam, puppadum, puppodam, puppodum. However, there is nothing to say that you cannot use the unlisted spellings papodom, popadum, poppodom, poppodum, puppadam, puppadom, and puppodom. Take your pick!

You learn something new every day!
