New Delhi: Unniyappam, one of the favorite food items of Malayalees, is being honored by the postal department.

A Rs 5 stamp with the picture of Unniyappam has been released.

However, the English and Hindi titles are a bit hard to bite.

It's 'Baby Appam' on the stamp. Its colour is also different from the original. However, the stamps retain the original local names for items chosen from other regions.

Prasadam given at temples, festival dishes and regional specialties are among 24 food items that have found a place on the stamps. Tirupati Laddu, Biryani and Pongal are among them.
