About Kumbalappam

Kumbalappam is a traditional snack from the southern Indian state of Kerala, known for its wholesome ingredients and unique flavor. This steamed delicacy is made from ripe bananas, grated coconut, rice flour, jaggery, and a hint of cardamom, wrapped in banana leaves for added aroma. Rooted in Kerala's vibrant culinary heritage, Kumbalappam is both nutritious and naturally sweet. The bananas provide potassium and dietary fiber, while the jaggery offers an unrefined source of energy and essential minerals. Coconut adds healthy fats, and rice flour keeps it gluten-free. However, because jaggery is still a form of sugar, portion control is recommended for those monitoring their sugar intake. A perfect blend of health and flavor, Kumbalappam is a delightful treat that reflects the balance of nature’s goodness and cultural tradition.
