Adhirasam is one of the very authentic and traditional recipe. This recipe is made using rice and jaggery. Different name for this recipe is kajjaya, ariselu, atirasa, anarsa, arisa pitha. Athirasam is south Indian famous sweet recipe.
The adhirasam is very delicious sweet. This sweet can be stored for over a week in room temperature. Health wise this is an oily food but if it’s for festival occasion, oil or sweet is not an issue at all.
Adhirasam recipe is very tricky and difficult. For the recipe, jaggery syrup and rice flour should be correct otherwise it will fail. This recipe may not work for first attempt. Trying this recipe and good result in first attempt if you are a master of jaggery syrup and preparing the rice flour.
In my childhood my aunty used to do this kajjaya recipe. Somehow I remember this sweet and tried, outcome was so good. That’s why I wanted to share my version of kajjaya recipe with you.
Jaggery and rice are main ingredients of athirasam or kajjaya. Jaggery need to be first dissolved in water and boiled till sting like consistency. The rice is soaked for hours and dried. No need to sun dry or use a drier. Because rice need to have some moisture in it while dry grinding it. Otherwise athirasam will not come perfect. The rice flour may be sieved or not, which doesn’t make much difference.
Till seeds, an optional ingredient for this recipe, which need to be roasted for a minute. For good aroma i used pepper powder and cardamom powder. I combined rice flour in batches because it is easy to mix. If rice flour added at once it becomes lumpy or mixing will is difficult.
The dough must be like chapathi dough after cooling. Otherwise it will break while you drop in to the hot oil. If the dough is hard you can add banana for smoothness. If dough is not hard like chapathi dough you can add maida and knead again. Then give shape and leave it to hot oil.
The very important tip or rule is oil must be low to medium flame. Otherwise it will not be good or will tastes like burnt. While taking out from hot oil, press gently using spatula.
Try this tasty and traditional recipe in any festival and enjoy with your beloved ones. Here I’m ending athirasam story catch you in next interesting recipe.
