Therali Appam | Kumbilappam | Edanayappam | Kerala Style Sweet Dumplings

Therali Appam - Kumbilappam

Therali Appam/ Kumbilappam – It’s an authentic Kerala evening snack made either from ripened jack fruit bulbs or banana. As it’s steamed instead of frying it’s a very healthy snack for everyone.

It’s flavoured with cardamom and cumin powder. Also as it’s made in fresh Edana ila/ Vazhana ila (bay leaves) that also gives a special aroma.

If fresh bay leaves are not available this recipe can be made in dried bay leaves or adding the dried leaves in the steaming water. Banana leaves/ aluminum foil are also can be used if bay leaves are not available.
