An achappam ('achh' meaning mould and 'appam' meaning food made with flour) is a deep fried rose cookie made with rice flour.[2][3] It is a signature Kerala snack believed to come from Dutch influence.[4][5][6] In Kerala, it is a traditional snack made in Malayalee houses.[2] It has since spread to South East Asia, where it has various local names such as kuih loyang (brass), acuan (mould), cap (stamp), bunga ros (rose flower), bunga durian (durian flower), goyang (shake), kembang loyang, dok jok (water lettuce), etc. Achappam are shaped like flowers, slighty sweet crunchy, and available in teashops and snack shops all around Kerala. Molds are common in Keralites' kitchens for making Achappam during special occasions.
