Ariselu

Ingredients:-

Raw Rice - 1kg

Jaggery (grated) - ¾ kg
Oil or Ghee - to fry

Method:-

Wash the rice once and soak them in water for 24 hours.

Drain and spread the rice on a clean cloth and let it dry completely. Dry grind the rice to a fine powder.

Sieve the flour and keep aside.

Boil the jaggery until it gets thick consistency ..

Take some water in bowl and pour some of the boiled jaggery to it. Roll with your finger. When it forms into a ball shape, it is done..

Remove from heat and gradually add the rice flour to this syrup stirring constantly. Be careful that no lumps are formed. Remove the dough from fire and let it cool down to the room temperature.

When slightly cool make big lime size balls of it.

Heat ghee in pan.

Apply ghee to a polythene cover, place a ball in the middle and press with your fingers to a circle.

Keep a low flame and fry each disc in oil till it turns nice deep golden brown in colour. Remove the fired ariselu from oil and place it between two flat ladles and press tightly to remove excess oil.

Spread pressed ariselu on a broad plate till it becomes cool. Repeat the procedure till the dough is completed.

Store the cooled ariselu in an airtight box.
