Adhirasam Recipe with step by step pictures. This is my first attempt on making adhirasam and it turned out near to perfect. If you love adhirasam. Then you will love my puran poli recipe as well.
Adhirasam recipe is a traditional recipe. Adhirasam Recipe is made on special occasions like diwali, krishna jayanthy and other occasions too. Making adhirasam needs some skills and techniques. But it is very easy to make.
Adhirasam needs just two ingredients literally. Rice flour and Jaggery. You definitely have to make rice flour at home. Because the rice flour should have some moisture in them for making adhirasam.
Some people may face two issues when making adhirasam.
1)Why my Adhirasam breaks in oil:
If you add rice flour before jaggery reaches soft ball stage then adhirasam will break and separate in oil. So cook jaggery till it reaches soft ball stage.
2)Why my Adhirasam is hard.
If you cook jaggery syrup too much. Then when frying adhirasam it will get hard and chewy.
Once you have fried the adhirasam, you can store this in a air tight container for atleast 10 days or even more. Adhirasam should have a skin on top and inside should be soft and crumbly.
Hope you will give this a adhirasam a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
