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."

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. "
