Kuzhalappam is a tasty and simple snack recipe with a fine mixture of rice powder and onions. It is a traditional healthy tube-shaped snack popular among Kerala Christians. It is a favourite snack with tea or coffee and is often sent to people abroad. The snack is made with ground shallot, coconut milk, shredded coconut, sesame and cumin seeds. It might seem a bit long procedure, but it's not at all hard to prepare. Once the snack is deeply fried, let it rest on tissue paper and extract the excess oil from kuzhalappam. For oil extraction, kitchen tissue paper will do an excellent job.
