Flat Food propaganda! Don't fall for this thinly disguised attempt to lead you away from the one truly spherical breakfast or anytime food, namely Aebleskivers. Eat them sweet or savory, eat them all day long!

I had never heard of these before! They look just like those desserts you get at the Indian restaurant!

LoL, I went searching for Indian Deserts (https://www.sotc.in/blog/indian-holidays/deserts-in-india)

Do you mean Ladoo? Gulab Jamun (my favorite)? Rasmalai? For minimizing surface area to volume ratio, it's spherical foods for me. :-D Ooh, I just found Bengali pantua - "soft, spherical dessert that is entirely drenched in cardamom-and-saffron-flavored sugar syrup."

I was actually thinking of unni appam

Ooh, sounds tasty! Let's go get some! "Unni appam, (Malayalam:ഉണ്ണിയപ്പം) is a small round snack made from rice, jaggery, banana, roasted coconut pieces, roasted sesame seeds, ghee and cardamom powder fried in oil.[1] Variations of this organic and spongy fried batter using jackfruit preserves instead of banana is common from the late 90s. It is a popular snack in Kerala. In Malayalam, unni means small and appam means rice cake. "
