Ingredients

Biyyam Pindi (Rice Flour): 1 Cup

Bellam (Jaggery): 3/4 cup

Pesarapappu (Green Gram Dal): 1/2 Cup

Miriyalu (Pepper Seeds): 1/2 tsp

Procedure

Step 1: Preparing the Pesarapappu (Green Gram Dal)

Begin by soaking the Pesarapappu (Green Gram Dal) in water for 2-3 hours. This soaking process softens the dal, making it easier to blend and extract the essential flavors required for the drink.

Step 2: Preparing the Chalimidi Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of Bellam (Jaggery) with the Biyyam Pindi (Rice Flour). Gradually add a small amount of water while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens into a smooth, dough-like consistency. This Chalimidi mixture serves as the flavorful base for the drink.

Step 3: Assembling the Paanakam Drink

In a glass, add the prepared Miriyala Podi (Pepper Seed Powder) and 2-3 teaspoons of mashed Bellam (Jaggery). Pour in 250ml of water and mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients, forming the Paanakam drink. This mixture serves one person and offers a balanced blend of sweetness and spice.

Step 4: Filtering the Pesarapappu Water

After soaking, filter the water from the Pesarapappu (Green Gram Dal) to extract its essence. This filtered liquid will be used in the final stages of preparing the Vadapappu component, adding depth and richness to the drink.

Vadapappu, Chalimidi, and Paanakam are now ready to be served as Nayivedyam.
