Viral: Polish Woman Tries Making Kerala-Style Appam The Traditional Way, Internet Applauds

Kerala appams are loved by foodies not just down South but across India. This soft and distinctively spongy delicacy made from rice is eaten with a wide range of curries, vegetables and meat preparations. Recently, a Polish vlogger went viral for trying her hand at making it the traditional way. Emilia Pietrzyk, a content creator from Poland, has been documenting her experiences in Kerala on social media. Her husband is from the state, and she often shares glimpses of her interactions with his family and other cultural experiences. One of her latest posts shows her accompanied by her mother-in-law, whom she calls "Amma," as she tries to prepare appams.

Emilia spreads the batter on an appam pan and moves it with both her hands so that it spreads and coats the surface to form a bowl-like shape. She covers it with a lid and makes a thumbs-up sign with a smile. In the caption, she revealed, "I've seen it served countless times with stew and curries, but today I tried making it myself. To my surprise, the shape actually came out quite nice - crispy lace-like edges with that soft, fluffy centre that makes appam so special. Kerala cuisine is full of traditions, and appam is more than just food - it's a symbol of warmth, family, and festive mornings. Learning to make it gave me a whole new appreciation for the patience and skill that goes into every dish here."
