Lakshadweep has many special vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes which might not be found in other parts of the country. Kilanji, a simple appam made of rice, eggs, and coconut milk is quite a favourite on the island. The very thin-layered kilanji appam can be enjoyed with a curry infused with sliced bananas and coconut milk. Here’s how:
Ingredients
1 cup white rice soaked in water for 1.5 hours
2 eggs
2 tbsp water
1 cup coconut milk
½ cup sliced banana
Sugar as required
Preparation
Grind the rice well
Add the eggs to it and grind again
Sieve the mix well
Add water so that the mix is loose
Heat a pan and pour the mix on it as a thin layer, covering the whole of the pan
Once it’s cooked, fold it into desired shape
Transfer it to a plate
Enjoy kilanji with coconut milk mixed with banana, sweetened with sugar
