Shantha,
Do you know the recipe for khara version of yeriappa?
Thanks,
Lalitha
No Lalitha, I am not aware of this recipe.
I’m going to make this tomorrow for Saraswathi pooja. Thanks for the recipe.
You are welcome Kum.
Shantha,
I tried this recipe and for some reason yeriappa became hard and brittle.
do we need to include urad dal in this recipe?
Thanks!
Hi Lalitha,
I do not add Urad dal to the recipe. If you do add it, let me know how it turns out.
Regards,
Shantha
Hi Lalitha,
Sometimes deep frying for too long makes Yerippa hard and brittle. Cooling can also make it soft. In any case, this is a tasty recipe and thanks Shantha for posting it!
Happy Navaratri!
Nikhila.
Thanks Shantha and Nikhila.
Thanks Nikhila for your inputs.
