Achappam, it’s a fried snack, I like it mildly sweet, but there are sugar coated Achappams too. It’s a traditional Kerala snack, which is now easily available in all bakeries.   The preparation is  simple and is easy  to make Achappams. The only tricky part is frying it, but am sure you’ll get the hang of it after 1 or 2 trials.  I am sure homemade Achappams make a great gift during this holiday season.
