About Us
A simple food, made the way it has always been made.
Appalam is one of the oldest foods on the South Indian table. A dough of black gram flour and salt, rolled thin and dried, that turns golden and crisp in seconds of hot oil. Booma Appalam makes this everyday staple in Chengalpattu, in Tamil Nadu's Kancheepuram district.
Our range grew around the way people actually eat. A mini pack for a single lunch. A Lunch Special and Dinner Special for the home kitchen. Five-hundred-gram Catering Special packs, in big and small diameters, for the hotels and function halls that serve hundreds of meals at a time. And masala chips, the oval spiced appalam that goes with evening tea.
The smiling face on our pack has become how people recognise Booma on the shelf. Behind it is a simple promise: the appalam you buy today should taste like the one you bought last year.

மொறுமொறு
Crisp in seconds
Thin, evenly dried discs that puff fast and fry light, with the curled edge appalam is known for.
Manufacturing
From flour to the finished pack.
Appalam is a patient food. The traditional method has only a few steps, and each one decides how the appalam fries.
01
Flour and dough
Black gram (urad dal) flour is mixed with salt and water and kneaded into a firm, smooth dough. For masala chips, whole spice is worked into the dough.
02
Rolling
The dough is portioned and pressed into thin, even discs for appalam, or long ovals for chips. Thickness decides how the appalam puffs.
03
Drying
The discs are dried until firm and brittle. Properly dried appalam keeps for months and fries clean, without absorbing oil.
04
Packing and dispatch
Dried appalam is counted, sealed into pouches, round packs or strips, and cartoned for shops, hotels and caterers.
