Inventori di Tapeswaram Kaja

Tapeswaram, the name that is well known to everyone reminds the delicious andhra made sweet “Tapeswaram Khaja”. It is known for it’s taste which looks as folded mat looking in light brown colour from outside and wheat colour inside between which the juice slides from. It makes everyone say, “what a taste”, be it young children or adults, it binds people towards it with it’s ultimate taste. The khaja that’s being made in Tapeswaram made the village a well known place in not only Andhra Pradesh state but also in the whole country. It became a common thing for people who take Tapeswaram Khaja when they visit their friends, relatives who are located in other places. Likewise, people who come to the district definitely thinks to taste them before they leave. This khaja stood as special item among sweets in many national level political meets and conferences across the state.

In those days, Mr.Polisetty Satti Raju who belongs to Brahmapuri Village (which is near Kotipalli) came to Tapeswaram along with family when his father moved in to the place. In those days Mr.Ramaswamy used to have a sweet stall in Mandapeta in whose shop Mr.Polisetty Satti Raju used to work in. In the later time when Mr.Ramaswamy closed his shop, Mr.polisetty Satti Raju started his own coffee hotel in the village. Based on his previous experience, he started making sweets in a different way which caught the instinct of many around and slowly the name got propagated across the state.

This made Mr.Polisetty Satti Raju to dare and start making sweets on a dedicated full time activity. Like him, many of his family members who followed his way and established their own sweet stalls individually in the village. In those days, apart from Khaja, he used to also make other Andhra specialties like Arisalu, Sunnundalu, Khajjikayalu etc many varieties in the scout. This finally started as a family business and Mr.Malli Babu took over this as a direction after his father, followed innovative approaches of making khaja by utilizing a combination of man & machinery which automatically increased the production capacity while maintaining quality to meet the demands of it’s audience.
