== Origins ==
Neyyappam traces its origin to the southern Indian state of [[Kerala]].

==Preparation==

=== Utensils ===
In traditional Kerala cuisine, Neyyappam is cooked in a bronze pan called ''appakara'' ([[:ml:അപ്പക്കാര]]) <ref name="Peppertrail_Appam_temple_food"/> (also known as Paniyaram Pan in Tamil Nadu), about 8 inches in diameter, having three or more large cavities and thereby giving the dish a tortoise-like shape. Recipes vary from place to place, especially the ingredients chosen to prepare the batter.

Many cuisines use variations on this pan for similar dishes. A substitute for an appakara is the special pan used to prepare [[Æbleskiver]],<ref name="Peppertrail_Appam_temple_food"/> the Danish puffy ball-like pancake dessert.

In the absence of these special utensils, neyyappam may be cooked on a [[griddle]] or a small cooking [[Frying pan|pan]] ([[skillet]]).

=== A typical method (directly using rice) <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://garammasalacooking.com/recipe/neyyapam-traditional-kerala-neyyappam/|title=Neyyapam / Traditional Kerala Neyyappam - Garam Masala|website=Garam Masala|language=en-US|access-date=2016-05-20}}</ref> ===
* Rinse the white rice in water and keep it soaked for 3–4 hours.
** Skip this step if using rice flour or rava/semolina.
* Drain the water and grind the rice (using a mixer-grinder) with ripe banana and [[jaggery]] to form a thick paste.
* Fry dry coconut slices (or grated coconut) in ghee until golden-brown.
* Add the ghee-fried coconut, cardamom seeds and cumin seeds. Also add a pinch of dry ginger powder and mix well. Keep the batter for 30 minutes.
* Heat ghee or cooking oil in a bottom-deep pan and pour a ladle full of batter into the pan, and fry till it becomes a golden-brown color.
* Keep the fried Neyyappams aside to drain off the excess oil and let it cool down before savouring.
