പെസഹാ അപ്പവും പാലും || Pesaha Appam & Paal || Puliyathappam || My Grandmother's Recipe

Maundy Thursday, also known as Holy Thursday, is the Christian feast or holy day falling on the Thursday before Easter to commemorate the Maundy or Last Supper of Jesus Christ with Apostles. It is the fifth day of the Holy Week, followed by Good Friday. Pesaha Appam is the unleavened Passover bread made by the St. Thomas. Christians in Kerala serve Passover on Maundy Thursday night and has its origins from the ancient Jewish tradition of making unleavened Passover bread. It is made from rice, urad dal and is not fermented with yeast, in its preparation. Traditionally, Pesaha Appam is served in a ceremonial manner on Passover night in Syrian Christian households where the head of the family cuts the Appam, dips it in Pesaha Pal and serves it to family members for supper. This is my grandmother's recipe, the one I prefer making.
