Bread of Life

Bread of Life



Unleavened bread to share for Maundy Thursday, to remember a Seder meal shared a long time ago. The bread is made according to the tradition in T’s home town, where griddle roasted “Kalthappam” made of ground rice, rich in sautéed shallots and coconut slices is the preferred bread for this Holy Day over the steamed “Pesaha Appam” made all through out the rest of Kerala
