Achappam or rosette cookies is a traditional and authentic delicacy of Kerala. Today we are going to make Achappam…

Achappam and achappam mould

Ingredients

Rice flour-1 cup

Egg-1

Semi thick Coconut Milk-3/4 cup

Sugar-4tsp

Black sesame seeds-1/2 tsp

Cumin seeds-1/4tsp

Salt a pinch

Oil to fry

Preparation

·         Mix rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, salt, sesame seeds, cumin seeds and egg in a bowl until it reaches dosa batter consistency. Our achappam batter is ready.

·         Add more coconut milk if required.

·         Cover it and rest it for half an hour.

·         Heat oil in a pan.

·         Dip achappam mould (here I use a non-stick achappam mould) in hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes before you start making achappam, this mould should always remain hot.

·         Now dip achappam mould in the batter (dip only 3/4^th of the mould into the batter) and then dip this in the hot oil.

·         after 20 seconds gently shake the mould or using a spoon remove achappam  from the mould.

·         Cook it on medium flame and fry it on both sides.

·         Always dip the mould in hot oil before dipping it in the batter.

·         Store fried achappams in an  airtight container.

Note: if you are using a new mould, or mould which is not used for long time, dip it in the oil (not hot) for overnight. Here I used non-stick achappam mould, so you can dip this in hot oil for 5 mins before making achappam.
If coconut milk is not available you can use normal milk also, i tried once and came out well.
