🍯 5 Easy Steps to Make Adhirasam – The Krithik Sweets Way

Adhirasam isn’t just a sweet—it’s a celebration of heritage. At Krithik Sweets, we believe in preserving the soul of tradition while making it accessible to every home kitchen. Here’s our simplified, foolproof method to craft golden, soft, and perfectly puffed Adhirasams in just five steps.

 

🥣 Step 1: Prepare the Rice Flour

Start with raw rice (preferably sona masoori). Soak it for 2 hours, drain, and grind it into a slightly coarse flour. Sieve it and use immediately—freshness is key to texture.

 

Krithik Tip: Avoid store-bought rice flour. Freshly ground flour gives that signature softness and aroma.

 

 

🍯 Step 2: Make the Jaggery Syrup

In a thick-bottomed pan, melt grated jaggery with a splash of water. Boil until it reaches soft ball consistency—when dropped in water, it should form a soft lump.

 

Krithik Tip: Add a pinch of dry ginger powder and cardamom for depth.

 

 

🧁 Step 3: Mix and Rest the Dough

Slowly pour the hot jaggery syrup into the rice flour, stirring continuously. The dough should be sticky but pliable. Cover and let it rest for 6–8 hours or overnight.

 

Krithik Tip: Resting enhances fermentation, giving Adhirasam its iconic puff and softness.

 

 

🔥 Step 4: Shape and Fry

Grease your palms, take small portions, and flatten into discs. Heat oil on medium flame and fry one at a time. They’ll puff up beautifully—flip once and remove when golden.

 

Krithik Tip: Press gently with a ladle while frying to encourage puffing.

 

 

🌼 Step 5: Cool and Serve

Drain excess oil and let them cool. Adhirasams firm up as they rest. Store in an airtight container—they stay fresh for days and taste even better on Day 2!
