About Upappam

Upappam is a traditional South Indian dish made from rice flour, semolina, grated coconut, and mildly spiced vegetables like carrots, green chilies, and curry leaves. These ingredients are mixed into a thick batter that’s cooked in a specially-designed pan with small cavities, allowing each portion to crisp on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy inside. Upappam is typically seasoned with mustard seeds and garnished with fresh coriander, adding vibrant flavor. It is a lighter, low-fat alternative to deep-fried snacks, as it is cooked with minimal oil, making it a healthier choice for breakfast or a quick snack. Rich in carbohydrates and dietary fiber from the rice and vegetables, it provides sustained energy but should be consumed in moderation by those watching their calorie intake or limiting refined carbs. Upappam reflects the ingenuity of South Indian cuisine and its focus on wholesome, flavorful ingredients.
