Achappam, a Nostalgic memories of yet another delicacy from God’s own country. Achappam - A Delicious Snack is a traditional snack very popular during Christmas season which is incredibly delicious and crunchy. An iron mould is required for preparing Achappam - A Delicious Snack.

The iron mould is first heated in boiling oil, then dipped into the thick batter and finally re-immersed in hot oil. After a minute, shake the mould and the Achappam will come off easily. Fry the other side too to a golden brown color by gently flipping over. Drain in tissue papers to remove excess oil, cool and store in air tight containers. Achappams are served as tea-time snacks. Enjoy the snack.

The consistency should that of dosa batter.
Heat the oil and dip the achappam mould. The mould should be very hot so that the achappams will come out from the mould when you dip it in the oil.
