Description

Sweet Cheeppam is a beloved traditional tea-time snack from Kerala, often prepared during festive seasons like Christmas or Onam. Unlike the Avalosunda discussed previously, which is a crumbly ball of roasted rice, Cheeppam is a deep-fried pastry. The preparation begins with a dough made of steamed or roasted rice flour mixed with thick, fresh coconut milk and a hint of sugar. Cardamom or cumin seeds are frequently added to the dough to provide a warm, aromatic finish that complements the sweetness.
