Indariyappam (Kurishappam) signifies Maundy Thursday and commemorates the ritualistic cutting of cake. It symbolizes the washing of the Lord's feet and The Last Supper, the day before Crucifixion. Indariyappam (Kurishappam) is served by the head of the family to the others by dipping in a sweetened syrup. The Appam is very easy to prepare at home. Keep note that you should not poke at the Appam with anything to check whether cooked or not. Since this is a ritualistic Appam, there should not be any disfigurement at the sides of Appam.

I made it. It is very nice and excellent. This receipy is very much helped to the Indians especially Keralites who were living in abroad. Because these types of ancient receipies are not known to the new generations. Thanks to Mrs. Betty Thaju Srambical. We are anxiously wating for more receipies like this from Mrs. Betty and wishes all the best to her.
