🍯 Step-by-Step Recipe Instructions

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice flour (store-bought)
• 1 cup jaggery
• 1 cup water
• ¼ cup water (for mixing rice flour)
• ¼ tsp cardamom powder
• 2 tsp ghee
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

• Take 1 cup of store-bought rice flour.
• Add ¼ cup of water little by little and mix thoroughly.
• Rub the flour between your fingers, like preparing puttu flour.
• The flour should hold shape when pressed and turn to powder when crushed.
• Sieve the flour to remove lumps and cover with a plate to retain moisture.

Make Jaggery Syrup:

• In a pan, add 1 cup jaggery, 1 cup water, and ¼ tsp cardamom powder.
• Bring to a boil until the jaggery melts.
• Strain to remove impurities, then boil again until it bubbles up.

Combine Flour and Jaggery Syrup:

• Add the prepared rice flour little by little to the boiling syrup.
• Mix continuously to avoid lumps.
• Add 2 tsp of ghee in between and continue mixing until it forms a thick dough.

Check Dough Consistency:

• Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a ball.
• If it holds shape, the dough is perfect.
• Allow it to cool completely.

Shape the Adhirasam:

• Take a small lime-sized dough ball.
• Place it on parchment paper and flatten it gently (not too thick or thin).
• Alternatively, press between two parchment papers for even thickness.

Fry the Adhirasam:

• Heat oil on medium flame (not too hot).
• Drop each adhirasam gently into the oil.
• Once it puffs up, flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
• Gently press with a ladle to remove excess oil.
• Repeat the same process until all dough is used.
