Orappam/Rice flour Halwa
Orappam is a traditional snack of Kerala which is made on festive occasions . It is made like a halwa and then lightly baked to make it crusty and crunchy on the exterior. Inside it has a fudge like texture. It is made with rice flour and coconut milk, sugar/jaggery and a taste which will surely make you nostalgic. Since most home did not have ovens in earlier days it was baked by closing lid tightly and burning coconut shells and placing it on top and bottom “Which Called as dhum” they keep this dhum for over night…

Orappam is our traditional breakfast during thiruvonam mornings, And we are from varkala. My grandma is a pro in this delight.
Thanks for the recipe.
This a typical Trivandrum dish. My paternal grandmother from Kilimanoor used to get this for us along with achappam and another rice flour dish. Orappam is an integral onam speciality.
