Snacks

Achappam | Rosette Cookies

A very popular and Kerala / Tamil Nadu snack which is incredibly crunchy & delicious. It is called so because of the iron mold used for its preparation. “Achu” in Malayalam means mold and “Appam” means bread.

Ingredientsfor 2 servings

2 cup Rice flour
½ cup Sugar — powdered
1 nos Egg
2 tsp Sesame seeds
1 cup Coconut milk
Coconut/Refined Oil As required for making Achhappams

Preparation

Step 1
For preparing the delicious snack, first make a batter of rice flour along with coconut milk, sugar powder and sesame seeds. Break the egg and add the contents into the batter. Stir the batter and set aside for about 10 – 15 minutes.
Step 2
Pour oil into a pan and heat it and then dip the metal part of the 'Achappam making equipment' (Achh) without touching the wooden handle in the oil.
Step 3
When the metal part of Achappam making equipment becomes very hot in the oil, take it out from the oil and dip in the batter. Then immediately, take the equipment out from the batter and slowly dip it in the hot oil, so that the batter on the equipment will automatically get released from the equipment and float it in the oil.
Step 4
When the metal part of Achhappam making equipment becomes very hot in the oil, take it out from the Oil and dip (only about 80 – 85% of the equipment should dip in the Oil) it in the batter prepared for making Achhappams. Then, immediately, take the equipment out from the batter and slowly dip it in the hot oil, so that the batter on the equipment will automatically get released from the equipment and float it in the Oil. Then move this Achhappam to other side of Cheenachatty and allow to fry both sides of the Achhappam properly. As did earlier, dip the equipment in the oil to get it hot again (this procedure should be continued till end of making Achhappams).
Step 5
When the colour of the Achappam turns into golden/brown, take it out from the oil by using a big needle or something suitable to take the snack out from the oil. After the oil is completely removed from the snack, change it into a plate. Later, store these snacks in an air tight container so that it can be stored for about more than 15 - 25 days.
Step 6
Achhappam is ready and it can serve as a Snack for evening Tea/Coffee etc.

Tip

The swirling motion takes practice. Your first two appams will likely be imperfect — consider them warm-up rounds.
