Soak rava in warm milk for an hour. Add sugar, oil, khuskhus, cardamom, nutmeg, raisins & charoli and mix gently. Leave the mixture for a further ½ hour. The mixture should be of dropping consistency.
Fill the appa pan with oil till the surface of the depressions and let it heat. When the oil becomes boiling hot, test it by adding the mixture for 1 appa only. Fry this appa on low flame for some time and check that the appa’s lower side becomes golden brown in colour. If it does then add the mixture to the remaining depressions. Fry them till they become brown in colour.
