Let us see how Appi Payasa is prepared.
Continuing with the series of payasams, today we bring you
the most delicious payasa of all that are available – Appi Payasa which is also
called as Happala Payasa and somethime Puri Payasa.
But Appi Payasa is
the apt name for this special sweet.
If you are familiar with the recipes of Shivalli Brahmins of
Udupi, then you will know how this payasa tastes.
You will need
· 1 cup chiroti rava
·
Water
·
Salt (for taste)
·
Ghee for deep frying
·
1 litre milk
·
Sugar (for taste)
·
Saffron strands
·
Cashew and almond pieces
·
Cardamom powder
How to prepare Appi Payasa
Heat milk in a wide thick bottom pan. Once the milk boils, simmer
the flame and continue boiling so that it reduces to ¾ th the original
quantity. Keep stirring at short regular intervals.
Mean while, add little water to chiroti rava and make stiff
dough. Make tiny lemon sized balls of the dough. With a rolling pin, roll the
balls flat like a chapathi or papad.
Make cutting impressions on the rolled out papad.
Now, heat ghee in a pan and deep fry the pieces of the
chiroti rava papad. Allow the fried papad
pieces to cool for some time.
Do not forget to keep stirring the milk you have been boiling
for some time now. Once the milk reduces to 3/4th quantity of the
original quantity, add cardamom powder, saffron strands, cashew nut pieces,
almond pieces and sugar. Allow it to boil for few minutes.
Now, add the papad pieces to the pan of boiling milk and
stir well.
Switch off the flame and allow cooling. The papad pieces
will absorb some amount of milk and the whole preparation will thicken to some
extent.
This is the king of payasams. This traditional sweet of
Karnataka is a must taste for all sweet lovers.
Happy Navaratri.
