Adhirasam Recipe Using Ready Made Rice Flour / Adhirasam Recipe / Arisalu Recipe/ Ariselu Recipe - Diwali Recipes

Adhirasam is my favorite sweet. Truly, I prefer to choose savory over Sweets, but with very few sweets that I love to eat. Of the ones that can be counted easily, Adhirasam tops the entire list. The preparation of Adhirasam involves very few ingredients that are easily available in a South-Indian’s pantry. However, every step in making this Adhirasam is elaborate and truly needs to be done with care. One misstep can lead to a disastrous Adhirasam.

In a wide bowl, add one heaped cup of rice flour and add a pinch of salt. Mix them.
Add water little by little and keep mixing the rice flour. Let the rice flour come to a puttu like consistency. It should hold between your hands and should break easily. This is the right stage.
set aside in a covered bowl to retain the wetness.
In a heavy-bottomed pan, add a cup of jaggery and add to cover it. Let it dissolve in water.
Let it begin to boil. After 4- 5 mins, it will become sticky. Keep boiling for further 3-4 mins till it comes to a rolling ball consistency
In a bowl of water, add a small drop of jaggery syrup and make sure it remains still, and when rolled it turns to a small ball.
Add the rice flour to the jaggery syrup slowly. Mix them and combine to a soft dough.
Pinch out an orange-sized ball from the Adhirasam dough. Grease the parchment sheet or banana leaf with a little Ghee and flatten them in a circular shape.
Add the flattened Adhirasam and cook them in oil on a medium flame on both sides.
Drain the cooked Adhirasam from Oil and press with a ladle gently to remove excess oil. Let it come to room temperature. Store in an airtight box.
