Adiresam

This dish is cooked only for fulfilling the ancestors.

Ingredients:

one cup of raw rice
one third of jaggery
one fourth cup of water
2 powdered cardamoms

Method:

Soak raw rice for half an hour. Wash the rice twice. Then drain the water completely.(Use a plate with holes for draining the water). Then grind in a mixer without adding water. (Consistency: fine powder). Then use a fine sieve as for this dish we need a very fine powder. Dissolve the jaggery in water on medium low flame.(Consistency: "getti pakku" which comes after "thekali pakku". Ref :Chakkarai Pongal recipe for details).Then add one Sambar spoon of pakku to this rava and mix well. Repeat these steps twice or thrice till it reaches Chapati dough consistency. The leftout pakku can be used for preparing payasam.In a plastic sheet apply ghee and then take a small ball of dough. Apply ghee to your fingers. Press evenly on all the sides and then deep fry.
