Patisa (Soan Papdi)

"Two-thread consistency is when a two threads are formed (and do not break) when your forefinger and your thumb are pulled apart gently. This stage is also called the soft ball stage - when a drop of syrup of this consistency is dropped into a bowl of cold water, it forms a soft ball. I found this on indianfood.com"

  1. Same recipe plastered all over the internet. Awful. Do not bother trying.
     
  2. The recipe I got called for lime juice in the sugar mix or the use of glucose syrup. To slow down the hardening process. The pulling and stretching of the sugar and then incorporating it into the besan flour mix is a little complex because of the cooling factor but I can say for beginner like myself I have tried 2 times to make this sweet and each time I learn something new. I am hoping this time I get it.
     
  3. I kept searching for this recipe all over the internet but nobody has mentioned how cold should be the temperature of flour mixture? as last time tired it turned out to be a besan chakki instead of patisa... plz need some urgent help!

<p>Hi Everybody! Thanks for stopping by in my little niche of the mighty Zaar world. <br />Here is a quick link to the beauty recipes I've posted (highest rated so far):http://www.recipezaar.com/r/chef=6357/253/451/18/ls=h <br /> <br />A few things I've done:- <br /> <br />1. Worked part time as a Telemarketer in Oman in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. <br /> <br />2. Worked as a Certified Professional Tarotist (Tarot Card Reader) and done accurate predicitions for many people from different parts of the world, most memorable of which is the reading I did for my college Law lecturer and it came true. <br /> <br />3. Written nearly 1000 poems several of which have been published in leading newspapers, ezines and magazines both in Oman and India. <br /> <br />4. Worked as a Moderator on www.allpoetry.com - my BEST and FAVOURITE site on the internet. <br /> <br />My other interests include: Numerology, Vaastu Shastra, Feng Shui, Face Reading, Reiki and Astrology! I am really very keen on getting well-versed with metaphysical sciences such as Astrology, I-Ching, Feng Shui, Runes, Enneagram, Kabbalah and many more. <br /> <br />I love researching on the mythology of ancient Goddesses and then condensing my research into poems. <br /> <br />In the mood to gift me something? Here's what I'd love - A Nissan 350Z {my dream car}</p>
