Adhirasam

Ingridients

Method:

Soak the rice for 30mins. After 30 mins, rinse it and drain the water water. Spread the rice in a towel for about 10 mins to absorb the excess water content of the rice. After 10 mins grind the rice in a mixer to a very nice powder
Add jaggery in a pan with 1/2 cup of water and when it dissolves it water take it and strain the jaggery water to avoid sand
Again boil the jaggery water and keep stirring it until the jaggery comes to stone consistency. This means when we take a drop of jaggery juice and pour it in water, it should not dissolve rather we should be able to make a ball out of it.
Now remove the jaggery from flame and add to the wet rice powder and mix it well along with cardamom powder. Now the adhirasam mixture is ready for preparation.
(Note : You can also add one ladle of fresh curd. By adding this you will get a soft Adhirasam)
Keep this adhirasam mixture aside for at least one day Deep fry the adhirasam till it becomes golden color. Don't put more than two adhirasam in the oil
Repeat the above steps for the rest of mixture
The Delicious Adhirasam is ready for Neivedhyam for Deepawali/ Thirukarthigai/Karthigai deepam as well as for serving.
Note : If Adhirasam is getting split while frying, then its an indication that you have added more jaggery. Add one or two more table spoon of rice flour and mix it and try again.
