Pesara poornam boorelu recipe | pesara pappu poornalu

By swasthi , on January 22, 2021, 10 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Pesara poornam boorelu (pesara poornalu) or dishes made of pesara pappu are offered as navratri naivedhyam on one of the 9 days. These are also called as sukhiyan, suziyan and suyam in other south Indian states. I have posted poornam boorelu recipe that is different from today’s recipe. The difficulty is in making the batter in the right consistency and it is the key to making crispy and less oily boorelu.

Today I am posting another simple and easy alternate recipe that I had learnt from my amamma, when I was a new bride. The specialty of this one is, easy to adjust the consistency of the batter. They come out crisp too but a bit harder (which is barely felt while eating).

These pesara boorelu are made using ready made rice flour and this recipe is the best for learners since the chances of saving your batter is more.
