Being married to a Mallu, it became a mandatory thing for me to learn and do native Kerala recipes and I never miss the chance of learning any new recipes from my MIL and my hubby’s maternal aunts. Every year we visit his native place, Mavelikara in Alapuzha district of Kerala which is a very beautiful place with lots of temples. In all their house, they have a big garden with allspice and vegetable plants.

Whenever I visit, I ensure that I learn some new recipes from them. This time it is a steamed delicacy that is made using the fresh Vayana Leaves / Therali Leaves (Similar to Bay Leaf in shape and flavor, but bigger in size). It is easy to make the recipe with the goodness of Wheat Flour along with Nendran Banana / Jackfruit. Thanks to Krishnan Uncle and Indira Mami who patiently demonstrated me the making of this delicious and healthy Appam.

 

 

Do try this recipe (you can even use Jackfruit leaves or Banana Leaves) and share your feedback 🙂
