Athirasam is a traditional recipe made for few occations like Diwali, Kadhara Gouri Vratam in South India. Many says that Athirasam is one of the most difficult dish due to its paagu consistency. But if you follow the old school method correctly you wont fail. I did the same and got the best result. Lets get into the recipe now.
Preparation time: minimum 3 hours
Cooking time: 30 ~ 40 minutes
Serves: 12 ~ 15
Sources: Sarasyummybites.
Ingredients:
1 1//2 cup rice
1 cup jaggery /vellam
¼ tsp dry sukku powder
¼ tsp cardamom powder
Water as required
Oil for shallow frying
Method:
Preparation:
- Wash and soak the rice in two cups of water for about two hours.
- Drain well and spread out on a clean on cotton cloth for 15 ~ 20 minutes.
- Grind the dried rice to a smooth powder.
For Syrup:
- Boil the jaggery in a half a cup of water with cardamom powder and sukku powder.
- Strain the syrup when all jaggery dissolves. Heat the filtered syrup again allow it to boil.
- When syrup thickens, test the consistency of the syrup by dropping a few drops in a cup of cold water.
- The syrup should not dissolve in the water and it should be soft and sticky and when you take it out from water, You can roll it into smooth, jelly kind of ball between your fingers.
- At this consistency remove the syrup from the heat and add rice flour little by little until you get a soft dough. Knead into a soft pliable dough.
Divide the dough into twelve equal balls. Flatten each one into a thick round on a greased banana leaf or on a plastic cover.
Cooking
- Heat sufficient oil in a shallow pan and slowly side the flattened discs into the hot oil.
- Fry over low heat till both sides turn a dark golden brown and crisp.
- Remove and drain excess oil by pressing with a spatula. Transfer to absorbent paper to drain completely. Serve hot.
