Neyyappam

Neyyappam is a sweet fritter originating from Kerala, South India. It is a popular snack and dessert, often made during festivals like Onam and Vishu, as well as religious ceremonies. The primary ingredients typically include rice flour, jaggery, ghee (clarified butter), and coconut. Cardamom is often added for flavoring. The batter is prepared by mixing these ingredients into a smooth consistency and then deep-fried in ghee or oil until golden brown. The final product is a small, round, slightly sweet, and spongy fritter with a crispy exterior. Different regional variations may exist, with some using bananas or other flavorings in the batter.
