Pappadams and Appalams are very good accompaniants to any rice and curry dish. Mor milagai is nothing but chillies soaked in salted butter-milk and dried to the appropriate stage. This is then fried in oil resulting in dark brown chillies. The colorful stars seen below are vathals. Any Indian would know about appalams.
