Rewa Special Sweet Puri: Rewa is very famous for its food. The dish we are going to tell you about today is Meethi Puri. Its specialty is that it is made from a special kind of fruit called Mahua. Let us know the complete process of making Mahua ki Puri.
As soon as you step on the ghats of Rewa, the aroma of boiling spices hits your mind. Wherever you look, every corner of Rewa is full of delicious food and sweets, which is difficult to return from Rewa without tasting them. Be sure to taste the dishes that have been passed down for generations which will satisfy your hunger.
This white and firefly colored fruit appears on the tree in March-April and May-June. You can dry this fruit and store it for a long time. If you do not like to eat sugar, then you can eat Mahua Pua without any tension. Because the Mauhri made from this does not require sugar or jaggery. Let us know the easy recipe to make it.
To make Mahua Pua, first of all take out the Mahua and check thoroughly whether there is any kind of soil or insects in it. After cleaning, wash the Mahua in water and keep it overnight i.e. for 6-7 hours. In the morning, take out the Mahua from water and filter it. Now put it in the mixer grinder and grind it without water. After this, take out the ground paste in a vessel and separate it. On the other hand, sift and separate the flour with the help of a strainer.
Now add the prepared Mahua paste to the flour and knead it gently. If needed, add only filtered Mahua water so that the sweetness of the Mauhri remains intact. While kneading the dough, keep in mind that the dough should not be wet. After kneading the dough well, cover it and keep it aside for 10 minutes to set. Now make small balls and roll them round in the shape of puri. If you want, you can also make it triangular. But only round shaped earrings look good.
After rolling out the puri, if you wish, you can also apply white sesame seeds on it. After this, a design can be made by kneading the edge with the help of two fingers. Otherwise we can only make a plane. Now add oil or ghee in the pan and leave it to heat. In Vindhya region, it is prepared in mustard or linseed oil only, due to which the taste is as wonderful as Sodha. After the oil is hot, add the pua to it and cook it, turning occasionally, until it turns brown. Now take it out on paper or tissue paper, cool it a bit and serve it with mango pickle. Some people also eat it with curd.
