Kachayam is a very popular sweet snack from the kongu region. A traditional and famous recipe from Coimbatore. It is very simple, easy to make and delectable to eat.When you have ripe bananas, this is the perfect recipe to make. This is a perfect tea time snack. Whenever i make this recipe it brings me back my childhood memories. When i was kid, we grand children hit our grandma's place for every summer vacation. Every year for us summer vacation is the time to enjoy and have fun. Grandpa's stories, the green farm, tall coconut trees, cow's, buffaloes at the backyard, little vegetable garden, very big scary well and grandma's food....reminds my childhood....those were magical moments. My grandma used to make this sweet for us and we kids run into the kitchen now and then and have them hot. Those were beautiful days, even though its gone they are still fresh in our minds and their presence is always in our thoughts.

Wow, finally!!! I can never forget the kachayam which u gave when we met. Thanks for sharing this recipe we say it as appam.Tanjore style appam.
This recipe sounds really really interesting Valarmathi..New to me..Tempting.
Isn't this also known as "Unniappam" ?
Haddock,
I think this recipe slightly varies from region to region and has different names. Tradtional unniappam has rice flour ( raw rice/ puttu mavu) and paniyaram pan is used for cooking, some uses wheat flour as a variation too. But i have used wheat flour and its deep fried. Anyways nothing much difference. I think this is very famous both in kerala and tamilnadu and the recipe has very slight difference, totally this is famous and tradtional south indian sweet recipe.In tamil nadu we call this as kachayam (coimbatore side )and in kerala unniappam.
Yes, it is unniappam, In coimbatore we say as unniappam
We say it as appam... Whatever I just love this..
