When it comes to food, Easter is the festival of breads, crepes and rice hoppers that's served paired with spicy non veg curries. If you believe that it is high time to try something new other than the same old easy palappam, then try out this super-fluffy pulicha appam recipe inspired from the versions Ammachis in Kottayam and nearby areas used to make for their beloved grandchildren during the festival feast.
