Ingredients for making Diwali special Adirasam

Jaggery- 2 cups
Cardamom powder- 1 tsp
Khus khus- 3 tsp
Dry ginger(sukku)- 1/2 tsp powdered
Oil for deep frying

Method for making Diwali special Adirasam

• Take a thick bottomed vessel and add 1/4 cup of water, when the water starts boiling add the jaggery and wait till it melts. 
• Check the consistency of the syrup. It must have one string consistency.
• Then filter the melted jaggery in a strainer to remove the dirt.
• Switch off the flame and then add cardomom powder, dry ginger powder and then the rice flour. Mix well to get a soft dough just like chappathi. Stir well so that there are no lumps.
• Heat oil in a pan, take a small ball of the dough and spread it on a greased banana leaf or a plastic sheet just like a poori. I pierced a small hole so that it gets cooked easily.
• Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides and then press this between 2 plates or in a adhirasam kattai
