What to know about Priya Urad Dal Plain Appalam Papad
A protein-rich papad with a heavy salt load
Priya Urad Dal Plain Appalam is a dry papad made from urad dal (61%), rice, salt, coconut oil and calcium hydroxide as an acidity regulator. It is bought as a crisp side for rice, dal and sambar meals, and it is cooked at home by roasting, microwaving or frying.
Per 100 g the papad has 310 kcal, 16 g protein, 8 g fibre, 2.9 g fat and no added sugar. The pack serve is 10 g, which gives 31 kcal, 1.6 g protein and 230 mg sodium. The cost is the salt: 2,300 mg sodium per 100 g.
The pack says Urad Plain, and the list backs that up, with urad dal first at 61% and nothing added for colour or flavour. The other lines on the listing are general: choicest ingredients and tastes like homemade. CleanPlate scores it CA5.
Why Priya Urad Dal Plain Appalam Papad scores CA5
Nutrition is a C on 16 g protein and 8 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are an A for a short, additive-free list, and risk is a 5 because sodium is 2,300 mg per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 16 g
- Fibre
- 8 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 310 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 16 g per 100 g and fibre is 8 g. Most of the protein comes from urad dal, a legume that is 61% of the papad. That earns credit, but the energy is 310 kcal per 100 g from a dry, starchy base.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is five items long: urad dal, rice, salt, coconut oil and calcium hydroxide. Calcium hydroxide is an acidity regulator and does not cost ingredient points here. No dye, flavouring, sweetener or hydrogenated fat is listed.
The pack makes no hollow promise, and the main percentage is declared, so nothing costs label points.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Very high risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 2300 mg
- Saturated fat
- 1.8 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Sodium is almost the whole of the risk number: 2,300 mg per 100 g, and 230 mg in a 10 g serve. That is what lands the grade at 5.
Saturated fat is 1.8 g per 100 g, well under the 5 g high line, and added sugar is 0 g. Energy adds only a little. Trans fat is declared as 0 g.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Priya Urad Dal Plain Appalam Papad live up to its claims?
