Introduction
For people who have tons of Lapsi Candy titaura's available, you should try this recipe. I always longed for one until recently when my family was in town, they helped me make this so I could share with you. It's fairly easy to make.
To give you a background as what this recipe is all about - it is made out of Lapsi (Nepali Hog Plum) fruit, which you can get most of the time only in Nepal. This fruit is seasonal as most other fruits are and are available only during the autum/winter season, but you can buy Lapsi Candy readily available in most of the stores in Nepal.
You have "Paun" usually during huge feasts hosted by your family members and relatives back home. You have it at the end of the feast "bhoj", and is known to help with digestion as it has turmeric, the hog plum itself and black salt. Here is the recipe that you can follow and hope you will like it. If you do, please comment below so I can hear you!
