Kappa Kinnathappam Recipe – Tapioca Steamed Cake in a Plate

Another delicacy from Gods own country – Kappa Kinnathappam!

Kinnathappam literally means sweet rice cake, steamed in a plate. My mom used to make Kinnathappam for us when we were kids and it was one of my favorite afterschool snacks. I haven’t had it for years, but when I saw this recipe in a cooker show, which was little different from traditional one. I was a bit curious to find out how it tastes so I decided to try.

I found it very easy to prepare and requires only few ingredients. As name suggests Kappa /Tapioca is star ingredient, which is combined with fresh grated coconut and jaggery. This healthy soft, spongy texture steamed cake pairs well with tea or coffee. Add it to your snack menu this week; try it and let me know how you like it 🙂
