Thiruppam

Thiruppam (Tamil: திருപ്പം) refers to a traditional Tamil sweet or snack food. It is typically made from rice flour, jaggery (or sugar), cardamom, and sometimes other ingredients like grated coconut. The batter is deep-fried in oil or ghee to a golden brown color. Thiruppam can vary in texture, ranging from crispy to slightly soft, depending on the specific recipe and cooking method. It is often prepared during festivals and special occasions in Tamil Nadu and other Tamil-speaking regions. The recipe and preparation can differ regionally, resulting in variations in taste and appearance.
