Achappam is a traditional authentic snack of Kerala which is a very popular dish prepared during the Christmas festival.  Achappam is a word used in Kerala where ‘achu’ means mould and appam means something made with rice flour which is deep fried or steam cooked.

Achappam is a crunchy sweet.  It is usually a round shaped snack and resembles a flower. It is made with a special round mould. The mould is typically made of iron and now days also available in non-stick too.

All the ingredients are mixed together to form a thick batter that has the consistency of dosa batter. The mould is dipped in the batter and then inserted into hot oil. The achappam then separates from the mould and it is fried till golden brown.
