Like papad elsewhere in India, Amritsari papad is made from dough, usually of hulled [[Vigna mungo|urad daal]] flour, seasoned liberally with salt, black pepper, heeng ([[asafoetida]]), cumin, coriander, [[pomegranate]] seeds, and sometimes [[garlic]]. The proportions are highly variable, leading to a large variety in taste and pungency. The dough is rolled into wafer thin discs the size of a small plate, and sun-dried to prepare raw papad. Flours from other sources such as [[lentils]], [[chickpeas]], [[rice]], [[tapioca]] or [[potato]], are sometimes used. Dried papad will keep for several months without refrigeration. Although now done by machines, papad was traditionally rolled out by hand, requiring a fair amount of force because of the dryness of the dough—indeed, In Hindi and Punjabi, "papad belna" (rolling out papad) is still a metaphor for any laborious or arduous task.{{fact|date=December 2022}}

Papad is prepared by roasting in an oven or on an open flame, and because it is so thin and dry, takes but a fraction of a minute to be done. In Punjab, it is typically served as an accompaniment to a meal, but elsewhere in India, it is also eaten as an appetizer or snack, with toppings such as chopped onions, carrots, [[chutney]] or other dips and condiments. Papad is a low calorie food but has a high sodium content.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Nutrition Facts and Analysis for Papad|url = http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/legumes-and-legume-products/7549/2|website = nutritiondata.self.com|access-date = 2016-02-03}}</ref>
