About Kerala Kuzhalappam - Crispy and Crunchy Snack

Though I have visited many parts of Kerala, I had the opportunity to taste this authentic snack of Kerala only last year when I visited Thrissur, a crispy and crunchy snack with mild spicy flavour and fine aroma of coconut.

My friend made this new recipe for my sake when I was there to present me a new recipe for my blog. I got the opportunity to make it only this week.
