My grand daughters (twins) enjoyed adhirasam and they keep asking for more. Home made Adhirasam will surely be less oily compared to store bought adhirasams and they are little crispier too when eaten fresh.

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Raw Rice 1 Cup = 250ml
  • 1 Cup Grated Jaggery
  • ½ tsp Cardamom Powder
  • ¼ Litre Cooking Oil

Instructions

Method for making Rice Flour

  • Rinse the raw rice in water atleast couple of times. Then add fresh water to the raw rice to soak them well and leave the raw rice to get soaked for atleast an hour. After an hour, drain the water from rice and spread it in a clean white towel to get it dried. 
  • It could take atleast 5 to 10 minutes to get dried. If you take the rice in your hand, you should feel damp in your palm or fingers. If you are going to prepare larger quantities then drying of rice takes more time. Also, if we are going  to grind the rice in a mixer, then we should grind it immediately after the rice got dried. Immediately grinding the dried rice in a mixer helps us to get more smooth rice flour without any lumps. If we leave the dried rice for a long time, then we would not get smooth flour in the mixer. But if we are planning to grind it in a rice mill, then it should not be a problem.
  • Grind the rice in the mixer to a nice powder. Normally we don’t get any lumps. But we should sieve it couple of time to get a smooth rice flour. If we get any lumps while we sieve, again add the lumps of rice flour to the mixer and grind it again to a smooth flour and again sieve it. 
  • Repeat the sieve process again and again till we get a smooth and nice rice flour. Now our rice flour is ready

Method for making Jaggery Syrup

  • Add jaggery in a pan with 1/2 cup of water and when it dissolves, strain the jaggery water to remove dirt and sand
  • Again boil the jaggery water and keep stirring it until the jaggery comes to stone consistency. This means when we take a drop of jaggery juice and pour it in water, it should not dissolve rather we should be able to make a ball out of it. It should not be hard as well. This is the right consistency. When you allow the syrup more than the stone consistency, then the adhirasam will become hard. If the syrup is taken before the stone consistency, then the adhirasam will break while frying. You should be very careful at this stage.
  • When you take the jaggery syrup from the bowl, you should be able to roll into a ball and also when you drop it it should make a sound while hitting the ground / plate. This is the right consistency of jaggery syrup. Now remove the jaggery from flame and add to the wet rice powder and mix it well along with cardamom powder.
  • Mix well, so that no lumps are formed till you get chappathi dough consistency. Now the adhirasam mixture is ready for preparation.. Keep this adhirasam mixture aside for at least one day. The next day, again knead the adhirasam dough and if you feel it is too sticky, you can add little rice flour or if the dough is too dry you can sprinkle little butter milk and knead it well.

Deep Frying Process

  • Heat required oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Make a small ball of the adhirasam mixture and place it in a oil greased plastic paper. I have cut a zipper cover into 2 sheets. I have placed the small ball of adhirasam dough in the center of 1 zipper cover which is greased with oil. Cover that with another half of the zipper cover 
  • Using a flat bottomed bowl or lid press the ball to make it flat. We need slightly thicker adhirasam so do not press too much. 
  • Grease your fingers with oil and gently take out the pressed adhirasam from zipper cover and drop it in hot oil. Keep the flame in medium and allow the adhirasam to get fried in oil. We have to fry the adhirasams one by one only. If we add more adhirasam to the oil, the chances of breaking is too high. 
  • When the adirasam gets cooked on the bottom side, it will automatically rises up in the oil. Gently using a spatula turn the adhirasam to the other side and allow it to cook for another minute. Then hold your spatula on your left hand and take out the adhirasam from oil. Using another flat spatula, gently press the center of the fried adhirasam ti squeeze out the excess oil from the adhirasam. Do not press too much otherwise the adhirasam will break. So gently do it. Repeat the above steps for the rest of mixture and fry all the adhirasams
  • The Delicious Adhirasam is ready for Neivedhyam for Thirukarthigai/Karthigai deepam as well as for serving.

Notes

  1. Traditionally we use only jaggery. I have not tried with Palm jaggery or sugar
  2. The measure of jaggery is for the rice and not for rice flour. 1 Cup jaggery is for 1 cup Rice not for the Rice Flour
  3. If jaggery measure is more then the adhirasam will get split in the oil
  4. The consistency of the jaggery syrup is the main success criteria for this Adhirasam. The jaggery syrup should be "Soft Ball" Consistency. If you take a drop of syrup and add it to a bowl of water, then you should be able to roll into a ball but the ball should be soft and not hard and also it should not get dissolved in water. This soft ball consistency is the main step in getting softer Adhirasam
  5. The prepared Adhirasam dough (rice flour with jaggery) should be kept aside for at least a day. The sourness of the dough is the second success criteria for soft Adhirasam. If we deep fry the adhirasam just after the dough is prepared, then the adhirasam will be crispier and not soft
  6. I have tried to make adhirasam once with Store bought rice flour. Obviously the quality of adhirasam is more with homemade rice flour. We need freshly ground rice flour for adhirasam which has a little dampness in it. But if we plan to make with store bought rice flour then we can roast the flour till its warm and then use it
  7. The adhirasam dough after fermentation will be thick and not sticky. If the dough is very sticky, then we can add 1-2 teaspoon of rice flour and give a good mix. Then the dough will become like a chapati dough. If the dough is very crumbly in texture
  8. Always we need to try making only one adhirasam first to check if adhirasam is not splitting in hot oil. If the adhirasam splits in hot oil, do not panic. Add 1-2 teaspoon of rice flour in the dough and mix well and try making adhirasam patti and deep fry it

Hi,
To get a soft adhirasam
• Please make sure that the rice flour is very nice powder. If its not then the adhirasam might turn into hard
• Adhirasam mixture should be kept for atleast one day for the mixture to get sour. If not, please add one ladle of sour curd into the mixture.

Hi

I have a doubt:

After preparing Adhirsam mixture you mention to leave it for a day.Should I keep it in fridge.

Next day after preparation if I have some dough left can I refrigerate it and use it as and when required?

Thanks

Hi, Suhasini

After preparing the adhirasam mixture you should leave it for a day to get sourness. If you keep in fridge then it won't get sour.

Yes, after preparation, you can keep it in fridge and use it when required. But try to consume within 5 days.

Hi Uma, I would suggest to use the wet rice and make the rice flour when it is with moisture. This will help to get a soft adhirasam. But nothing stop your from trying the dry rice flour, but i haven't tried this yet.

Hi(Maami),

I am pregos and badly craving for Chakkarai or vella adhirasam (sadly, i have to make it on my own). I am wondering what type of rice i need to make it? I am living in states and it is hard to find specific rice varieties. However, i have rice flour. Could this help me out making a decent adhirasam or i have to go with the type of rice (long grain white rice) i have in hand?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Vidhya.

Hi,
I would recommend you to use the white rice (long grain should be fine). You should soak the rice and prepare the rice flour as mentioned in the recipe above. I don't recommend using the ready made rice flour. All the best for your adhirasam.

Dear Subbu mami,
Thank you for such a wonderful recipe. I tried making it on Karthigai but it went bit hard.
Want to try it again but got a few questions before I proceed:
1). Raw rice 1 cup when powdered yields more than 1 cup of flour. So should we use 1 cup of raw rice flour or the whole rice flour that we got by grinding 1 cup of raw rice?
2). how should the oil be while frying? Medium heat throught? should the dough raise to the top immediately? how to check the oil temperature?
3). When I fry it, it start breaking on top but stays as a circle. should I pour oil to the top part after putting it in oil just like we we do for making puris?

Dear Aruna
1. The recipe is for one cup of raw rice. Use the whole rice flour that we got by grinding 1 cup of raw rice.
2. Yes, you are right. Take a pinch of dough and put it in the oil. The dough should raise to the top immediately. This is the right consistency.
3. If the adhirasam breaks, then add one more teaspoon of rice flour and mix to the dough. Yes, you can pour the oil to the part after putting it in the oil.

All the best. Please drop me a note on the outcome of the Adhirasam.

Subbalakshmi.

Dear Subbu mami,
I tried making this. These were the mistakes I did.
When I made the mixture, the syrup was not enough and I was not able to bring to it to chapathi dough consistency. So thought of adding some curd (I am staying in the U.S. and it is winter here. So I was skeptical of fermentation process) but added too much curd that the dough became very sticky. Even after keeping for a day, it was sticky.
So I added some rice flour to make adhirasam. It did not break, it became a bit crispy like last time. If we add rice flour, will it become crispy?

Hi Deepika, for 1 cup of grated jaggery, we can add 1/2 cup of water. That is the ratio. We can maintain the 1:2 (water:jaggery) ratio

Dear Subbu Aunty,

Followed your method for making the sweet, and for the first time in many, many years i managed to get good results. The only feedback my husband had was that only some of them had a soft centre and crisp exterior. Most of them were crisp throughout though the taste was very good.

Is there anything I could do to ensure a soft centre? Those that had a soft centre I cooked on medium, but the filling oozed out when I pressed them. When I kept the flame low, it became crisp all through. PLease let me know your suggestions.

Thanks so much!

I also tried ribbon pakoda and mixture. All the dishes came out very well.

Planning to make your brinjal rasavangi recipe tomorrow.

Thanks for all the recipes.

Mami, thanks so much for responding. I was able to make balls out of it without adding rice flour. I think I panicked too soon. I was able to make flat patties on the paper but the dough was too stretchy when I tried to take it from the plastic paper. When I did take it out, the adhirsam curled up in the oil. I finally made balls in paniyaram kallu and did nevedhyam that way. While the taste was good, I would like to know what mistake I made so I can get it right the next time, Happy Karthigai!

When you allow the jaggery syrup more than the stone consistency, then the adhirasam will become hard. If the syrup is taken before the stone consistency, then the adhirasam will break while frying. Even by mistake, if you you keep the jaggery syrup a little more than the stone consistency, no need to panic, just sprinkle little water to loose the jaggery syrup. Also We should keep the adirasam mixture for atleast a day before deep frying. If you prepare the mixture and immediately fry them, they will be hard only. IF you had kept the mixture for a day, then it should be the jaggery syrup consistency that made your adirasam hard.

Till we breast feed, try to avoid oily foods. Sometimes if we are not able to digest the oily food, then it will affect the baby also. So try to control till you stop the breast feeding. You can have a very little for taste but it is better to wait.

April 8, 2016 at 8:49 pm

Hi if we take out the jaggery syrup before proper stone consistency, then we will have a chance of adhirasam getting break up in the oil. You can add little flour and buter milk and mix in the dough. Just try in small quantity, if it is not breaking then u pls proceed. otherwise it is tough to modify the dough, we can add water, wheat flour and make it to batter and make paniyaram

We need to cook adhirasam till it turns golden brown on outside. we dont need to wait till all the bubble ceases.

Hello Anuradha, Sorry to hear this. This is due to the Jaggery Syrup consistency and the quantity of the Jaggery. Please try adding tablespoon of rice flour with the dough and try again.

Hello dear Sowmya,
I tried to do the adhisaram today but when mixed the rice flour with the syrup it immediately kind of crystallized and formed hard lump, impossible to mix. I checked the syrup consistency which wasn’t overcooked. Do you know what happened and how to prevent that?
Thank you for your recipes!

So sorry to hear Cecilia. For Adhirasam, we add syrup to the rice flour. if we keep cooking the syrup and add rice flour when the syrup is still in stove, sometimes the syrup goes to next consistency and becomes hard. Can you pls confirm

you can adjust by adding some more rice flour along with warm water or buttermilk. We can use the same flour to make vella seedai too.

Hi sowmya.. I tried the same way.. not sure what mistake I made the adirasam is breaking while frying. Like it crumbles

So sorry to hear Sathya. If the adhirasam breaks while frying in oil its because of jaggery ratio. Either more jaggery is added or the jaggery is of very good quality and even the 1:1 ratio is more. Either case we can add some store bought rice flour to the dough, mix well again and try frying. Please try once with adding more rice flour.

Sorry to hear Sathya. If the adhirasam splits in hot oil, do not panic. Add 1-2 teaspoon of rice flour in the dough and mix well and try making adhirasam patti and deep fry it. Please check in this video – https://youtu.be/L3zpA9jhK9Q

My adhirasam came crisp like a biscuit. I want to know why. I followed your recipe,

Have you fermented the adhirasam dough for atleast 1 day? The fermentation brings the softness. Next, while deep frying, if we squeeze the oil too much with 2 ladles then adhirasam will become more crispier.
