AAPPA KADAI

Inspired by India's affection for spices, dishes and culinary masterpieces – Simran’s Aappa Kadai's special offering to food lovers is the popular bowl shaped pancakes made from fermented rice batter and coconut milk, called Aappam. The origin of Aappam dates back to 1st Century AD when ancient people living in the coastal belts of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Sri Lanka used to relish the delicacy. The Aappam is perhaps the only dish that was cooked in a number of ways and styles by different communities and countries. It was not only popular in South India but also had its influence on Burmese and Sri Lankan cuisines. It is a staple diet and cultural synonym of Syrian Christians of Kerala (India) who cook the Aappam in a very distinctive style.
