To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook athirasam ariselu using 7 ingredients and 14 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Athirasam Ariselu:
Take Raw rice(Maavu pacharisi) or sona Masoori rice
Make ready Jaggery (paagu vellam)
Prepare cardamom powder
Prepare Oil for deep frying
Take water
Make ready Sesame seeds (optional)
Prepare Ghee
Instructions to make Athirasam Ariselu:
Wash and Soak the rice for 3-5 hours. Drain the rice completely and spread it on a cotton towel for 30 mins.
When you take a fistful of rice in your hands and close your palm and then put it back into the towel.You should feel little wetness, few rice sticks to your hand.
The rice should still have moisture content in it,when you press it with your hands it will stick like this.Now transfer it to a mixer jar and grind it to a semi fine powder.It should not be very fine like store bought flour,it should be slightly coarse.
Now transfer this to a siever then sieve it.Do not discard the coarse particles,grind it again and then sieve. Repeat the process until you finish the entire rice. Mix well and keep it covered using towel,and set aside.
Now take jaggery syrup and water in a pan and heat it up.Keep stirring until it melts completely. Filter the jaggery syrup once to remove the dust particles.
Add the jaggery syrup into the pan again,add cardamom powder and let it boil for few mins.
Keep checking the syrup by pouring it on a plate containing water.1st the syrup will dissolve in water when poured.At one stage when add few drops of the syrup it will not get dissolved in water it will stand still like this.Now gather it with your hands, it will form a loose ball more like a jelly.This is soft ball consistency, it will easily slide from our hands,yes this is the right stage we are looking for.If you pass this stage, the ball will become hard and your athirasam will become hard
Immediately switch off(we are doing this to avoid the syrup from passing to next stage).1st time users can reserve 2 tbsp of jaggery syrup separately just to be on safe side not to get watery batter.Now add the flour,ghee and keep mixing.
Mix it well without any lumps.It will be a little loose.I formed a ball but it went flat in few mins.Now transfer to a airtight container,apply some oil on top and set aside for a day in room temperature. Or you can prepare immediately also.
Now take thick plastic cover or ziploc cover, grease it with little oil / ghee, keep a ball sized dough and flatten it with your fingers, it should be slightly thick.Heat oil(enough for the athirasams to immerse fully) in a kadai in parallel.
You can see how thick it is in this pic.Oil should not be fuming hot,lower the flame when you drop the athirasam as it will get cooked quickly.Carefully drop one athirasam,it will first float on top.
Then slowly it will puff up,carefully flip over and cook in low flame till reddish brown on both the sides. Don't cook it on high flame.
Press it with a ladle to drain excess oil,Then drain in tissue paper. Repeat the process for remaining dough.Now the most tastiest and everyone's favorite hot,soft athirasam is ready
Tips : If your dough is too tight, you can add little warm water/milk to make it loose. If it is too loose, add 2 tbsp of remaining rice flour or wheat flour. Don't add store bought flour.
