Revani With Poppy Seeds Recipe
I took care not to overdo the amount of poppy. As the poppy increases, the color of the revani gets darker and I don't think it looks very nice. I wanted the poppy to be felt but not to dominate the image and to remain in the form of tiny spots in the revani and I reached this result with half a glass of poppy. If you want to increase the amount, you can of course add more. You don't need to make any changes to other materials.
Sometimes I see whipped cream is smeared on the poppy seed revani. Since I am not quite a fan of whipped cream, I preferred coconut, which is my traditional revani decoration method. Frankly, it didn't make me think to add that much more calories to a dessert that is already very caloric.
But as I always say, you can make changes that do not change the structure of the recipe according to your taste.
Enjoy...
