Pesaha appam or Kurisappam^[1] is a firm rice cake made by the Christians of Kerala, India, to be served on the night of Maundy Thursday (Pesaha).^[1] It is made from rice batter like palappam,^[2] but is not fermented with yeast in its preparation.^[3] A cross is made using the palm leaves from Palm Sunday, and placed in the middle of the batter.^[3]^[4]

Background

The Pesaha celebration of Christians falls on Western Maundy Thursday and lasts for a single day.^[5]^[6]^[7] Traditionally, Pesaha appam is served in a ceremonial manner at night in Christian households across Kerala.^[8] The head of the family cuts the appam, dips it in paalukurukku (syrup) or Pesaha pal (coconut milk), and serves it to the other family members.^[2]^[8] The brown palkurukku is made mainly using jaggery and coconut milk. The meal also includes small banana variants in Kerala such as poovan pazham or njalipoovan pazham.^[1] Some families^[who?] have the custom of singing traditional Kerala Nasrani Christian songs during this meal.^[9]

The Pesaha appam is said to have been derived from traditional Jewish matza.^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]^[8]^[16] Like matza, it is prepared without yeast.
