Puri Payasam:
Wheat flour - 1 cup
Ghee - 2 tbsp
Water to knead the above

Knead wheat flour, adding ghee & water to a dough.
Keep 4-5 cups water to boil in a broad vessel.
Make chappathis, as thin as possible, with the dough.
Cut into small squares & add to the vigorously boiling water.
Repeat the process till the entire dough is used up.
Halfway through, if the water is not sufficient, boil some water separately & add.
Meanwhile boil milk, reserving 1 cup, in another stove.
Add the custard powder to the cold milk, mix well & add to the boiling milk, stirring continuously, to avoid lumps.
To the cooked puris add sugar & simmer well to dissolve.
