Instant snacks options are a big hit for all the right reasons. Here is a recipe of crispy rice snack that you can make in bulk and use it further to make a variety of snacks in a jiffy. Kuzhalappam (or rice flour cannoli or rice shell) is a popular snack in south India, especially, Kerala, and is worth a try.

This crispy and crunchy rice roll can be made in all of 10 minutes. This recipe video posted on YouTube channel ‘Cook With Parul’ shows an easy method to make this yummy snack.
