Adhirasam

November 12, 2020 By ashavenugopal Leave a Comment

Hello everyone, this post comes after a very long break for 4.5 years. I do not want to start this post with the usual rhetoric, so let me jump right into the post.

Diwali is round the corner and Diwali is synonymous with sweets. Well I don’t make any but my mother in law makes wonderful sweets which she shares with us. She has recently found joy in taking cooking videos and sharing it on youtube. So I thought I should do my small bit by putting up her recipe and giving the video links to my readers.

Adhirasam is a traditional Diwali sweet made with rice and jaggery. Its a combination of crispy exterior and soft interior. I always gorge on this sweet every Deepavali. However, making adhirasam requires a certain level of skill, which I certainly don’t feign to possess. But my mother in law has presented the recipe in a fairly simple way in her youtube video. You can check out this Youtube link (ADHIRASAM) to my mother in laws channel to see how exactly it is made.

Author: Asha
Recipe type: Sweets
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • Raw rice, 1 heaped cup
  • Powdered jaggery, ¾ cup
  • Water, 1 cup
  • Dry ginger powder, 1 tsp
  • Cardamom powder, 1 tsp
  • Ghee, 1 tsp
  • Salt, a pinch
  • Oil for deep frying
Instructions
  1. Wash and soak the rice for 7 hours. Drain the water from the rice and dry it on a cloth for 10 mins under the fan.
  2. When it is about 90% dry, put it in a blender and grind it finely.
  3. Now sift the flour and keep it in a covered vessel so that it doesn’t dry out.
  4. Add jaggery and water to a pan and boil it till the jaggery dissolves. Strain it to remove any sand particles.
  5. Now pour the jaggery mixture back into the pan and boil it till it reaches a soft ball consistency (Refer to the video to understand this better)
  6. Turn off the stove and add the rice flour little by little to the jaggery mixture and combine it well.
  7. Once its well combined add ghee and transfer it to a container. Keep the container covered and let the dough cool.
  8. Heat oil in a kadai on a low flame.
  9. Make small lemon sized balls using the dough and flatten it out to make small medium thick rotis by using a greased plastic sheet.
  10. Slide it into the hot oil and cook it slowly till it is nice and brown.
  11. Transfer it on to a plate and press it down with a wooden press to squeeze out excess oil.
  12. The adhirasam is now ready to eat.
