Made from the indigenous fruit Lapsi (Choerospondias axillaris), this tangy, sweet, and sometimes spicy candy is a nostalgic favorite for both young and old. In this blog, we’ll dive into the origins, preparation, types, health benefits, and the cultural significance of Lapsi Candy, unraveling why it holds a special place in the hearts of Nepalese people.
What is Lapsi (Choerospondias axillaris)?
Lapsi is a small, green, and sour fruit native to Darjeeling, primarily found in the hilly regions. Known for its tart flavor, Lapsi becomes the base for various culinary products, including pickles, jams, and most notably, Titaura. Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, Lapsi is cherished not only for its unique taste but also for its health benefits.
The Origins of Lapsi Candy (Titaura)
The tradition of making Titaura dates back several generations in Darjeeling. It was initially a way to preserve Lapsi fruit for off-season consumption. Over time, this preservation method evolved into a popular confectionery item, cherished by locals and visitors alike. Walking through the bustling markets of Kathmandu, one can find a vibrant array of Titaura stalls, offering different varieties of this delightful candy.
How is Lapsi Candy Made?
The preparation of Titaura is a meticulous process that enhances the natural tartness of Lapsi fruit. Here’s a step-by-step look:
-
Harvesting and Preparing the Fruit:
Fresh Lapsi fruits are harvested and washed thoroughly. They are then boiled to soften the pulp. -
Pulp Extraction:
The boiled fruits are de-seeded, and the pulp is extracted, preserving its natural tanginess. -
Flavoring and Mixing:
The pulp is mixed with sugar and spices like salt, chili, and sometimes licorice, depending on the desired flavor profile. -
Drying:
The mixture is spread evenly on trays and sun-dried for several days until it reaches a chewy consistency. -
Cutting and Packaging:
The dried sheets are cut into bite-sized pieces and packaged for sale.
Types of Titaura: Exploring the Flavors
Titaura comes in a wide range of flavors, each catering to different taste preferences:
- Sweet Titaura: Made by adding sugar and drying the pulp into soft, chewy pieces.
- Sour Titaura: Retains the natural tartness of Lapsi, with minimal sugar.
- Spicy Titaura: Infused with chili powder and salt for those who love a kick.
- Mixed Titaura: A balanced blend of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors.
This variety makes Titaura a versatile snack, appealing to diverse taste buds.
