Kuzhalappam

     Kuzhalappam is a traditional South Indian snack, especially popular in Kerala, known for its crisp texture. Shaped like small tubes or rolls—hence the name "kuzhal," meaning "tube" in Malayalam—this delicacy is made from rice flour dough, often mixed with coconut, cumin seeds and shallots. The dough is rolled thin, shaped around a stick or rod, and deep-fried until golden brown and crunchy. Kuzhalappam is typically enjoyed as a tea-time snack and is often prepared during festive occasions or stored in airtight containers for everyday munching. Its combination of simplicity and satisfying crunch makes it a beloved snack across generations.

* Grated coconut - 1/2 cup

* Shallots - 7

* Grease your hands with oil and pinch a small lemon sized ball and place it on the greased foil paper or banana leaf.

* Using a rod or thin rolling pin roll one side and bring the other side and seal the edges one over the other by slightly pressing to make a tube like shape. 

* Follow the same procedure until the dough finished. Arrange in a plate. 

* Once you finished, heat oil for deep frying in high flame.
