Neyyappam is a sweet rice-based fritter fried in ghee. Neyyappam has its origins in the southern Indian state of Kerala and coastal Karnataka. The name is derived from the words neyy meaning “ghee” and appam meaning “pancake”.
Neyyappam is typically made of rice flour (alternatively, with semolina), jaggery, ghee-fried coconut (pieces or grated), ghee, cardamom and milk. It is served as a tea time snack usually in the evenings. Neyyappam is also served as offering in Hindu temples in Kerala. This practice has also been adopted by some sections of Christians in Kerala.[2][3] Unni appam is a variant in which mashed ripe plantains or bananas are added to the batter and fried to result in a ball-like shape.
