Vellayappam

Vellayappam is an authentic and traditional Kerala breakfast recipe made with rice batter

Vellayapam or Kalappam is a Kerala delicacy and it’s very similar to the appam or palappam recipe. These Vellayappam are made on flat tawa or pan where Palappam is made on Appam Pan. It has a striking resemblance to the texture and appearance of Palappam. It is generally served with vegetable stew or veg kurma but also tastes great with choice of chutney. I’m love this fluffy Vellayapam with onion-tomato chutney .

The Kerala cuisine has many variations to the appam recipe and kalappam or vellayappam is one such dosa recipe. It is particularly famous at the malabar coast where it is made with rice and beaten rice batter mixed with todi or yeast.
