kavimallie

Kavimallie is a type of savory pancake or fritter originating from the Indian subcontinent, particularly popular in South India. It is often made from a batter of rice flour or semolina, mixed with finely chopped onions, chilies, and other spices. The batter is then fried in oil until golden brown and crispy.

The preparation of kavimallie can vary regionally. Some recipes incorporate lentils, such as urad dal, into the batter to give it a different texture and flavor. Other variations might include grated coconut, curry leaves, or coriander for added aroma and taste. The resulting dish is typically served as a snack or a side dish, often accompanied by chutneys or dipping sauces.

Kavimallie is known for its simple ingredients and quick preparation, making it a common household dish. Its crispy exterior and soft interior, combined with the blend of spices, contribute to its appealing taste. It is a popular item at local eateries and street food stalls, appreciated for its affordability and satisfying nature.
