Ayubowan! I warmly welcome you to my channel
Today i'm going to show you how to prepare pani appa (honey hoppers), this is something everyone loves
The ingredients for this recipe are very simple and anyone can prepare this
So, let's see how to prepare it
First, we need 500 g of dry rice flour.
I'm also going to add a teaspoon of dry yeast
Then i'm going to mix it
And add hot water. Hot water should not be too hot that it burns you hand
the water should be between 30-35 degrees warm
The right temperature is important for the yeast
make sure you don't add too much water
Prepare it like a paste
I have showed you the hopper recipe in my earlier videos, you can refer to that also
You have to make sure it does not stick to your hands
as you can see, the water amount is perfect
Next, leave this aside in a warm temperature for 6 or more hours
Cover it with a cling wrap
After it is done, you'll see cracks in this mixture
Now let's keep it aside
As you can see it's cracked. So it's ready
Next, we need honey, coconut milk
Salt and sugar. Sugar enhances it's taste
Now let's prepare it
An important thing to keep in mind when preparing honey hoppers is to add more honey.
This hopper should involve more honey (75%) and less coconut milk
The color of the hopper should be more brown than white, so we need to add more honey
If we add coconut milk, it's only going to be more white in color
You can even heat the honey for this
First we must add honey and then add coconut milk
First add a teaspoon of salt
and then add honey
It's hard to tell a quantity because the quantity should be according to the mixture
make sure it doesn't get too watery
I'm going to add around half a cup of coconut milk
Then mix it
You can also add a crushed cardamon as it can make a difference too
I'm going to add some more honey
Add honey according to the mixture
Now i'm going to add around 3 teaspoons of sugar
and mix it again
We have to cover this and leave it aside for around 2 hours
If you live in a warm country, it may take less time
If you live in a cold country, it may take more time
Test the sugar and see if it's sweet.
However, don't add more honey now as it may get watery
The quantities can be tricky, so be careful
Now i'm going to cover this and leave it aside for 2 hours
This is the paste which i left aside. It's ready
As you can see there are a few bubbles which means it's ready
Make sure it's a bit thick and not too watery
Now let's prepare a honey hopper
We need a hopper pan for this and we must heat it
And we need a canola oil can
and a cloth like this to wipe the pan
We also need a butter knife to help the hopper to come off
Check if the pan is hot enough
wipe the extra oil off the pan
Add this much of the mixture to the pan
Twist it like this a bit and let the rest fall in the middle
Close it until it's cooked
It should cook in medium heat
Now let's see how it's getting cooked
Take a butter knife or something similar and fold it like this
Next, take it out
Now it's properly cooked. We can prepare more like this
the amount may differ according to the spoon. But this is the amount you should take according to my spoon
As you can see, I have prepare honey hoppers (Pani appa) for you
It's a very simple recipe. If you can make normal hoppers, this is easy too
Always remember to get the color right
I have seen some honey hoppers are more white, which is not the right color
Make sure it's crispy too
you may add sugar according to your sweetness level
Always keep in mind not too add too much honey
Also, never add honey to the normal hopper mixture
It won't come out right
Now you know how to prepare honey hoppers in the correct way
I really hope you enjoyed today's video!
Until we meet again with a new recipe, have a great day!
Ayubowan!
