Achappam/ Rice Rosette Cookies(Kerala Style)


Hiii Friends...
Today I'm here with a snack recipe from Kerala.
This is a traditional snack recipe of Kerala. (To make this, you need achappam mould.)Making this one is little bit trickier and also need some practice to make it perfect. A light variation in batter consistency will end up in disaster😟

Here's the recipe...

Ingredients:
Raw rice - 1 cup
Egg - 1
All purpose flour - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 3Tbsp
Salt - A pinch
Thick Coconut Milk - 1 cup
Sesame seeds - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Oil

Preparation:
Soak the raw rice for 4-6 hours.
Grind the soaked rice along with coconut milk.Make sure that you are using thick coconut milk. Thicker the coconut milk, tastier the achappam will be.
Sieve all purpose flour and then add it to ground rice mixture and mix in again. Add a pinch of salt
Beat egg and sugar very well. Beat until it become fluffy.
Add the flour mixture to egg mixture and add sesame seeds and again mix well.
Now batter is ready.

Heat oil in a deep pan. put the achappam mould in it and allow it to become hot.( If achappam mould doesn't become hot, achappam won't come out of the mould.)

Once the mould and oil become hot enough, take mould and dip it in the batter.Then shake the mould gently into the oil. Then achappam will fall into the oil. (If it's not coming out, there is some problem with the batter.If batter appears to be thin, add some more all purpose flour to the batter. If it's too thick, add little bit coconut milk to it.)

After 20 seconds, turn it over and fry other side. (Fry until both sides become golden color.)

In meantime, put the mould in the oil itself, to keep it hot.
Once both side become golden color, take it out of the oil and drain it.
Allow it to cool and then store it in a air tight container.
