Achappam (Rose cookies )


Its my favorite snack, from my hostel days.As it is considered as a traditional christian snack but all over Kerala everyone likes it. It is made using a special type of mould named as 'achu'.Now in all our super marckets this 'achu' is available.So if you do not have it then bring one today it self.


Ingredients

1.Raw rice flour - 1 cup
2.All purpose flour - 1/2 cup
3.Sugar - 1/4 cup
4.Coconut milk - 1 1/2 cup
5.Sesame seed - 1 tsp
6.Egg - 1
7.Salt a pinch
8.Oil to deep fry

Preparation

1.Mix the rice flour with maida and sugar.To this add the beaten egg .Then mix it with coconut milk same as the consistency for the dosa batter.In the batter add the sesame seed and salt .Mix it well.

2.Heat the oil in a pan also place the mould in the hot oil.If the mould is not hot the batter will not properly coat on the mould.If the oil is hot enough then dip the mould in the batter till 3/4 th capacity and then in to the oil.

3.
After half a minute, shake the mould lightly so that the achappams will come out easily. If you shake the mould vigourously,you will not get the shape properly and there are chances of the achappams to break.

4.Fry it till it get light golden brown color on both sides.Then drain it out and place it in tissue paper.Repeat the process................
