Mom's Craft Home made Pure and Fresh Ariselu  (1 kg)-MCAU001

Athirasam Ingredients

Ariselu (in Andhra) and Adhirasam (in Tamilnadu) is made with two main ingredients. Rice and Jaggery. Though there are just two ingredients, it is technically difficult to master it. The quality and type of rice & jaggery play a huge role apart from the process itself. Even the smallest, slightest details matter a lot to get the perfect texture, shape and taste.

Rice – raw rice (also called maavu pacharisi, used for making batters) is used in the preparation of recipe. 

Jaggery – dark colored solid jaggery (also called as paagu vellam) should be used to get the recipe right. It gives a beautiful deep brown color to the adhirasam and helps in keeping the dough together when fried in oil.

Cardamom Powder & Dried Ginger Powder – both these powders add a lot of flavor to the dough and ginger powder especially helps in digestion since there is raw rice flour and jaggery and deep frying involved.
