Kerala Kuzhalappam

Though I have visited many parts of Kerala, I had the opportunity to taste this authentic snack of Kerala only last year when I visited Thrissur, A crispy and crunchy snack with mild spicy flavour and fine aroma of coconut. My friend made this new recipe for my sake when I was there to present me a new recipe for my blog. I got the opportunity to make it only this week.

• Slowly pour the boiled water to the rice flour mix and stir it to soft dough as we make for idiyappam or kozhukattai. When the dough becomes soft and thick enough stop pouring the water. Let it be in the consistency of Roti dough.

• Check out for salt and if needed add more.

• Knead the dough to soft gently with hand and cover it with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.
