In this image, a plate adorned with adhirasam, also known as Indian doughnut, steals the spotlight. The brownish discs rest delicately on a beautifully designed white plate, set against a backdrop of vibrant green leaves and garnished with fresh strawberries. The scene exudes elegance and charm with rose and yellow flowers complementing the arrangement.Adhirasam holds a cherished place in Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Marathi, Chhattisgarhi, and Odia cuisines, crafted from a delectable blend of rice, jaggery, ghee, and a myriad of spices like cardamom, sesame, pepper, and ginger powder. This fried dough, akin to a doughnut, boasts a rich history and is a staple during festivals like Deepavali and Ganesha Chaturthi.The meticulous preparation of adhirasam involves several steps. Begin by washing raw rice thoroughly and soaking it for about two hours. After draining the water, spread the rice on a clean kitchen towel to dry for an hour. Once slightly moist, grind the rice into a fine powder using a mixer or a flour mill, sieving it to remove any large granules. Roast black sesame seeds and incorporate them into the flour.In a saucepan, bring water to a boil and add grated jaggery to create a syrup infused with cardamom powder. Boil until the syrup reaches a one-string consistency. Carefully combine the syrup with the rice flour, forming a thick batter, and let it rest overnight.On the following day, heat oil in a frying pan and shape the thickened dough into balls, flattening them into discs on a greased surface. Fry until crispy, then drain excess oil on tissue paper. Once cooled, store the adhirasam in an airtight container to enjoy its delightful taste and texture for up to a week.Adhirasam stands as a symbol of tradition and festivity, offering a taste of India's rich culinary heritage in every bite.
