Adhirasam
Hi
Adhirasam is one of the very traditional decicacies of south India. This is specially prepared in most of the south indian homes during festivals. I had bookmarked this recipe from Raks kitchen and adhirasam is the day 1 post for Blogging Marathon#23 week 2 under the theme traditional dishes.
INGREDIENTS
Raw rice 1 1/2 cup
Jaggery 1cup
White sesame seeds 1tbsp
Cardamom powder 1tsp
Ghee 1tbsp
Oil for deep frying
PREPARATION
Wash and soak the rice for 2 hours. Drain it and let it dry only in the shade
Grind it in a mixer to a very fine powder
Seive it and keep it aside
Meanwhile heat the powdered jaggery with very little water. Strain it to remove the impurities.
Now boil it again till it reaches soft ball consistency
Now switch off the fire and add it to the flour and mix well.
Add sesame seeds and cardamom powder to this
Add just enough syrup to hold the flour
Knead it into a soft dough
Keep it closed for some time
Heat the kadai with oil for deep frying.
Make small balls from the dough
Fatten it into a disc
Deep fry in hot oil. Flip on the other side and deep fry again till it becomes glden brown in colour
Keep the adhirasam between two perforated flat ladles and press to remove the excess oil
Enjoy this traditional delicacy of sout india!!!

Nice! We don't make this at home, it's always store bought. But the more I read about the traditional recipes, the more I get tempted to make!
