About Palappam

Palappam is a traditional South Indian dish, particularly popular in Kerala cuisine. Made from fermented rice batter and coconut milk, it resembles a thin pancake with a soft, spongy center and crisp edges. The fermentation process boosts its digestibility and introduces beneficial probiotics. Palappam is typically cooked in a curved pan to achieve its distinct shape and texture. Often served with vegetable stew, lentils, or curries, it provides essential carbohydrates, moderate protein, and fats from the coconut milk. While nutritious, its calorie content might increase when paired with rich sides or fried accompaniments. Gluten-free and light on the stomach, Palappam is a wholesome option for breakfast or dinner while staying mindful of portion sizes and added toppings.
