Ingredients:

• Raw rice - 1 cup
• Powdered jaggery - 1 cup
• Cardamon powder - 1/2 tsp
• Oil for frying

Method:

• Soak rice for one hour, drain water and spread rice in a towel to absord excess water. Grind rice into fine powder. 
• Add jaggery in 1/2 cup water and when it completely dissolves, filter the jaggery water to remove dirt, again boil the jaggery water until it reaches stone consistency (that is take a drop of jaggery water and drop it in water, if it becomes a ball, then the consistency is right). 
• Add jaggery to the rice powder with cardamon powder, mix it nicely without any lumps. Now keep this adhirasam batter to ferment at least for a day. 
• Next day, make small balls from the batter, use banana leaf or greased plastic paper to flatten it just like vada. 
• Heat oil in a pan, when it is hot, reduce the flame to medium, fry adhirasam one by one. 
• Cool it and store adhirasam in airtight container.
