Bellam Appalu (Rice flour crunchy Sweet)

      Bellam Appalu is an authentic dish of andhra,also made for festivals. This sweet dish is the favorite of lord hanuman. 
     
      This sweet prasadam with a crunchy outer layer and smooth inside  tastes really great and i bet you cannot resist eating them... I remember, during my childhood, making garlands of this sweet and offering at the Hanuman temple. 
     
       As usual, i tried making this only after marriage and messed up the water and flour proportions this time.. We have to make sure that water is taken exactly the same as the flour i.e. 1:1.. may be 4-5 tbsp of water more may be added for dissolving the jaggery...

The recipe follows!!! All the best...

1. Rice Flour - 100g
