Things Needed
* Distilled Water
* Corn smashed (Dry)
* Sugar
* Yeast (Can use Wine Yeast also)
* Pressure Cooker
* Copper Tube (For Condensation process)
* Vessel (to collect Patta Sarayam)
* Charcoal
PREPARATION
* Go to the market and buy 1 Kilograms of Corn, 5 Kilograms of sugar, 40 liters of Distilled Water and 15ml of yeast.
* Next, you will be required to collect the necessary equipments, like a few large pots, a large pressure cooker and a coiled copper pipe.
* Put water in the pot and place it on stove. Keep on boiling it until it reaches a rolling boil.
* Add corn to the water and make into a paste. The resultant mixture will be known as saraku.
* Keep aside the saraku and let it cool down, till it is warm to the touch.
* Now, add sugar and yeast to the warm saraku.
* Again, keep it aside and let it ferment for 4 to 5 days.
* Keep on checking the saraku and when it stops bubbling, it means that it is ready.
* Put the sour saraku into the pressure cooker and keep it on fire, till it goes up to 173 degrees Fahrenheit.
* At this temperature, the alcohol content of the mixture will start rising to the surface.
* With the help of a coiled copper pipe, passed through cold water, trap vaporized alcohol in a separate vessel.
* As the vapors from the cooker pass through the cold copper tubing, they will slowly condense into the liquid called Patta Sarayam.
* Finally, filter the Patta Sarayam through charcoal, making it absolutely fit for consumption.
