Malu's Tapioca Appalam Crispy South Indian Snack 200 Gms

Tapioca Appalam from Kallidaikurichi is a specific regional variety — made from tapioca (cassava) starch rather than rice or urad dal, it has a distinct translucent quality when fried and a lighter, crisper texture than either of the more common appalam varieties.

Kallidaikurichi, a small town in Tirunelveli district, is known for this particular preparation. The tapioca starch produces an appalam that fries to a glassy, almost see-through golden colour and breaks with a very clean snap. The flavour is more neutral than urad dal appalam, making it a versatile accompaniment to any rice dish.

How to Prepare It
