Trader Joes Papadum = yummy. Sort of Fava Bean Pringles with curry powder sprinkled on them. Very light puffy texture.
Top 4 ingredients:
Potato Starch
Fava Bean Flour
Dehydrated potatoes
Palm Oil
Are potatoes mentioned anywhere else on the packaging? No.

"Traditionally, Papadums are thin, spicy chips about the size of a tortilla. They're made from lentil, rice of bean flour. Trader Joe's brings you this traditional Indian delicacy in the form of bite-sized chips! Our Tandoori Masala Papadums are made with fava bean flour and an aromatic mix of Indian spices."

Nothing like as richly* flavored as Doritos, but much better texture, and less greasy than more conventional potato chips.

*Richly isn't the word I want. I have no flavor language. Doritos flavoring is blunt, wide and encompassing. like someone sloshed a wide variety of orange paint on some gravel. Like someone dropping a piano, where this is just a nice chord. It isn't that doritos have more flavor, you understand. Just wider flavor. Agh, I give up. I still maintain that Doritos are a wonder of modern chemistry. _
