Anachappam ('achh' meaning mould and 'appam' meaning food made with flour inMalayalam) orachu murukku ('murukku' meaning a crunchy snack inTamil) is a deep fried rose cookie made withrice flour and egg predominantly found in Kerala and other parts of South India.[2][3] It is a signature Kerala snack believed to have originated from Dutch influence.[4][5][6] It has since spread to South East Asia, where it has various local names such askuih loyang (brass),acuan (mould),cap (stamp),bunga ros (rose flower),bunga durian (durian flower),goyang (shake),kembang loyang,dok jok (water lettuce), etc. Rose cookies are shaped like flowers, slightly sweet crunchy, and available in teashops and snack shops all around South India.
Achappam are made using patterned irons or molds to give the characteristic size, shape, and surface impression.[7] The iron is heated to a very high temperature in oil, dipped into the batter, then re-immersed in the hot oil to create a crisp shell around the metal. The iron is lifted from the oil after the cookie separates from the iron.[3]
Achappam batter is made from a blend of rice flour, eggs, sugar, andcoconut milk.[6][8]
Achappam can be eaten plain and are also commonly spiced with sesame, cumin, and cardamom.[3][6]
