Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia

Apālā (अपाला).—A daughter of the great sage, Atri. Suffering from leprosy and hence forsaken by her husband Apālā stayed with her father and started tapas to please Indra. One day, on her way home from the river, Apālā tasted the Soma which was meant to be offered to Indra and hearing the sound produced then Devendra appeared before Apālā. She gave the Soma to Indra, who was so pleased with her that he cured her of her leprosy. (Ṛgveda, 8-91).

Apāla (अपाल) refers to a type of “rice-flour cake” derived from Atirasa, as described in the 17th century Bhojanakutūhala (dravyaguṇāguṇa-kathana), and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā.—(Atirasa ingredients): rice-flour, jaggery syrup and ghee. (Cooking instructions): Cook the rice flour in the syrup of jaggery. Knead the mixture and cook it in ghee. This preparation, resembling the colour of moon is known as atirasa. Here the author says that kneading process should be done particularly by the hands of a woman. It may seems to the softness of the dish by the hands of a lady. The same preparation containing more liquid content is called apāla.
