Details and Ingredients

Kumbilappam is a traditional Kerala delicacy, crafted from a blend of ripe jackfruit pulp, jaggery, and rice flour, spiced with cardamom and a hint of cumin. This sweet mixture is wrapped in edible bay leaves (or banana leaves) shaped into cones, then steamed to perfection, infusing it with a distinctive earthy aroma. The result is a soft, moist snack bursting with tropical sweetness.

A festive favorite or afternoon treat, Kumbilappam pairs beautifully with a cup of Kerala chai, offering an authentic taste of South Indian coastal heritage.
