An achappam ('achh' meaning mould and 'appam' meaning food made with flour) is a deep fried rose cookie made with rice flour and egg predominantly found in Kerala and other parts of South India.

[4][5][6] 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.

Rose cookies are shaped like flowers, slightly sweet crunchy, and available in teashops and snack shops all around South India.

Achappam are made using patterned irons or molds to give the characteristic size, shape, and surface impression.

[3] Achappam batter is made from a blend of rice flour, eggs, sugar, and coconut milk.
