Neyyappam/ Deep Fried Rice Pancake Fritters
N eyyappam is a traditional Kerala snack which is golden brown deep fried delicacy made with rice and jaggery as the main ingredients. These are sweet rice pancake fritters made in pure ghee. Lot of memories are associated with this snack. When we were in Kerala during vacations,my grandmother used to make lots of snacks like unniappam, neyyappam, cut cake, bonda and so on. Each one of them were filled with a burst of flavors and also with lot of love, but among all, I love these golden fried neyyappam. There are different variations in making these neyyappam, I love this version. These can be stored in airtight containers for about a week. These neyyappam consists of four stages, soaking , grinding, fermenting and frying. If the batter is watery then it will drink too much of oil so adjust accordingly.
