Pesaha paal
                                            
       
                                                        Take one coconut and extract thengapaal thrice. Keep aside the first seperately.300 grms of Sarkara to be made a pani by putting it is small qty of water and boil. Pazham two numbers either palayamkodan or any other pazham, Chukku podi(dry ginger) half teaspoon, Jeerakappody quarter teaspoon, Aripody avashyathinu or Rice to be soaked in water and then without any oil fry in a cheenachatty and it will become small size malar and then powder it in mixie, Kurissola. Second, third pal and sarkara pani to be cooked  for five or ten minutes and then add kurissola,pazham and first milk and aripody. Aripody to be mixed with thalapal and then only to be added to the other milkBefore it boils remove from the fire and it should be a thick concoction. Add chukkupodi and jeerakappody before removing from the fire. or after removing. It does not make much difference.This is the paal and after dinner cut the appam or bread and eat this after prayers. A word of caution, Before preparing this u should take bath and clean the kitchen. In the olden days it was necessary to finish off the paal on the same day but with the advent of Fridge u can keep it and take it nextday and it will be really good. If anyone at home feels hungry in the night they can quietly open the fridge in the night preferably after midnight and finish it off to the utter dismay of others who preferrd to sleep.I used to do this in my youngerdays and u can also try it out for the sheer thrill of it.
Indariappam
                                                        Now that u have become an expert in making pesahapal we shall now go to the next lesson Indariappam. Arippody... Nazhior one glass, Uzhunnu quarter cup, Garlic one bulb not one chula but the wholething of medium size, Jeerakam quarter teaspoon, Coconut quarter portion. Garlic, jeerakom and coconut to be ground in a mixie. Uzhunnu should be soaked in water for three or four  hrs before grinding it in the mixie. Now mix both the stuff together. Add arippodi also and the mix should be sufficiently thick as we make for  vatteppam.Keep it for ten minutes and it should not ferment. Then pour it in to a vessal and steam cook. Keep a kurissola in the shape of a cross. Once it is cooked remove it. It will not be soft and it is the pulikkatha appam as mentioned in the Bible. This should be taken along with the pesaha paal, the recepe of which was given in the first lesson. The Appam should be cut by the head of the family after reading the relevant portion of the Bible Amen.
