Snagu

Snagu is a traditional dish from the Indian state of Kerala, particularly popular in the Malabar region. It is a type of savory pancake made from rice flour, coconut, and various spices. The dish is typically prepared during festivals and celebrations, and is often served with coconut chutney or sambar.

The preparation of snagu involves soaking rice in water overnight, grinding it into a smooth batter, and then adding coconut, spices such as turmeric, red chili powder, and mustard seeds, and salt. The batter is then poured onto a hot griddle or pan, creating a thin, crispy pancake. The process is repeated until all the batter is used up.

Snagu is known for its unique texture and flavor, which is a result of the combination of rice and coconut. It is often compared to a savory version of dosa, another popular South Indian dish. The dish is usually served with a side of coconut chutney or sambar, which adds to its taste and makes it a complete meal.

Snagu is not only a popular street food in Kerala but is also a staple in many households during festivals. It is a dish that brings people together, especially during social gatherings and celebrations. The simplicity of its ingredients and the ease of its preparation make it a favorite among both young and old.
