Panyalam originates from Mindanao and nearby islands. It is particularly popular among Muslim Filipinos, including among the Maguindanao, Maranao, Sama-Bajau, and Tausug people. It is commonly served during special occasions and religious holidays (notably during Hari Raya).[2][3] It is also a traditional dish among native Christian and animist Lumad groups, like the Mansaka and non-Islamized communities of the Sama-Bajau.[5][6]

Etymology

The panyalam name comes from the name of the special snacks made from rice flour from India, kuzhi paniyaram (குழி பணியாரம்).
