Ingredients

• 3 cups Rice flour
• 1 cup Icing Sugar , powdered
• 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds (Saunf)
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 3/4 cup Coconut milk
• 1 Whole Eggs
• Cooking oil , for deep frying

Directions

• To prepare Achappam Recipe | Kerala Style Fried Rose Cookies, sift flour through a sieve.
• In a large mixing bowl, add coconut milk and transfer the flour slowly while you keep stirring in a spatula to make a fine batter.
• Beat eggs in a bowl till fluffy and add it into the flour batter.
• Now start adding powdered sugar gradually and whisk the batter using an electric blender to avoid lumps and make a fine and smooth batter.
• If you find the batter to be too thick, you can adjust it with more coconut milk.
• Add fennel seeds and pinch of salt and give a quick stir to the batter.
• The consistency of the batter should neither be too thick nor too thin. Now take a thick bottomed broad frying pan and heat oil. 
• As soon as the oil gets heated up nicely, immerse the iron/steel mold into it completely and hold on for a minute.
• Now take out the hot mold and immediately immerse it in the flour batter. Make sure the mold is only 3/4 immersed in batter, to ease the cookies to to transferred to oil when they are being fried.
• Now again dip the batter coated on the mold in hot oil completely and hold on for a minute or two, till the batter gets golden and crispy. As soon as the batter is cooked it will detach from the mold itself. 
• Remove the mold and carefully take out the achappam from oil using a perforated ladle.
• Transfer the achappam to a kitchen towel to absorb excess oil.
• Repeat the same process with rest of the batter.
• Serve these Kerala Style Fried Rose Cookies (Achappam) as an evening snack along with smoothie or masala chai.
