A mould, of course! I was wondering how on earth? It makes a great shot, Joshi :)
What a shot! :-)
South of India I wish to travel more frequently in years to come and the name – Achappam I will try to remember to have it. Thanks for the photo.
Superb!
Lovely shot!
Takes me back. So vivid memories from childhood. I shall have to try and make it. Your photographs are exceptional but then you have such wonderful subjects.
You capture otherwise ordinary activity into a very nice moment.
Yummy! My favorite snack. :) Lovely shot.
Everyone remembers the special moments of childhood (especially) and cookies. These are a work of art. Loving hands work hard on a treat that will disappear in a minute. :-P <3
Lovely shot!
Have a nice week end!

As soon as I saw this I cried out “Oh, this is beautiful”. And it is. You have such a unique style and the photos could only be yours. You are very talented.
How strange, we make rosettes like this for Christmas, the only difference is wheat flour insted of rice. Nice photo.
Love the composition and your use of DOF.
Sure tastes great.
Outstanding photo

great light. I’m going to the kitchen now. ;-)
Wonderful use of light.
Yum yum! And what a nice photo :)
Oh, my. I used to make rosettes with a special iron, Joshi. Who would have known they do something similar in India!
I loved these when Mom used to make it :)
Nice capture. This brought a whole lot of childhood memories.

what a great blog i have ever seen…
really this achappam is the sweetest and cheapest snack and ill have a full packet all alone
You can easily find this snack in Indonesia as well. It’s called “Kembang Goyang” (Dancing Flower). India is indeed similar to Indonesia in some ways.
Yummy cookie(:
That reminds of those childhood days I used to fight with my cousins for achchappams.
very nice thought of captivate shot!
thank you :)
Nostalgia …………..killing sweetly
you should have some soon ;)
Woah! We Malaysian Chinese also have similar cookies that we eat during Chinese New Year. We call it Beehive/Honeycomb Cookies or Kuih Loyang. I always thought that it is originated from Malay! Very interesting!
So does that also look like this?
