    Kaaparisi | Kaapu arisi recipe| festive sweet recipe | காப்பரிசி  | traditional sweet | Kaapu Arisi | kapparisi | punyajanam step by step pictures and video recipe. You can also check out the Kaaparisi recipe.  If you like this recipe pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel

    Kaaparisi is a traditional Tamil brahmin special sweet prepared during the naming ceremony of the newborn child. In our tradition, we do Punyavachanam (naming ceremony) for the baby on the 11th or 21st day after the baby is born. Traditionally Kaaparisi is given with other vettathallai pakku.

    Can I add peanuts for Kaapu arisi?

    Every meal has its own way of making this traditional sweet. This is the way my Amma makes it. You can add 1 tablespoon of peanut if preferred

    Can I fine grind arisi?

    No, we generally pulse rice for kapparisi. From the same stand, we should taste rice while eating it.

    What should be the consistency of the jaggery syrup?

    After soft ball consistency, you get hard ball jaggery syrup. Some cook jaggery syrup to firm hard ball stage but in our home, we cook jaggery syrup till they turn slightly hard but you don't get the tuk sound when you drop

    After cooking I leave the kapparisi in the same pan?

    No always change it to another vessel immediately after turning off the stove else it hardens.

    Check Jaggery syrup

    • When jaggery syrup boils well, start checking the jaggery syrup
    • Take a little jaggery syrup in a water
    • The first stage - is immersed in the water
    • The second stage - syrups stay in the water but we can't roll it
    • The third stage- syrup stays in the water and you can combine it into a soft ball (not so firm and you can easily press it)
    • In the fourth stage- syrup stays in the water and you can combine it into a ball (it turns firm in a few seconds). That is the consistency we are looking for. Avoid hard/ stone consistency
