Here Are The 4 Ingredients You'll Need To Make Unique Paper Mithai At Home:
1. Rice
This unique paper mithai has rice as its key ingredient. It is what gives it a consistency similar to that of paper. The rice is ground and combined with water to form a paste. A thin cloth is then immersed in it and draped over a hot clay pot. You can even use your regular tawa and turn it upside down for this purpose.
2. Jaggery and Sugar
The filling of this dessert contains both jaggery (gud) and sugar. This helps impart a unique taste to it and makes it even more indulgent. You can use regular granulated sugar to prepare this mithai. For gud, opt for the darker one as it is more flavourful and rich in taste.
3. Ghee
Ghee is the star ingredient in any Indian mithai. This unique paper mithai from Andhra Pradesh, is no exception. Without it, this mithai won't taste as good and will lack that rich flavour. Use desi ghee for the best results. Do not hesitate to add extra ghee if you feel the need.
4. Dry Fruits
You'll also need a variety of different dry fruits to make this dessert. Opt for dry fruits such as almonds, cashew nuts, and pistachios. You can even add figs or dates. Chop them all nicely, and then mix them along with the ghee, sugar, and jaggery. The result is this delectable treat that'll leave you craving more.
