Ingredients

For Dough:

  • 1 cup Rice (Broken Basmati)
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1/2 cup grated Jaggery

For Anarase:

  • Oil for frying

Instructions

For Dough:

  • Take rice in a bowl. Wash it well 3-4 times. Add water. Soak the rice for 3 days.
  • Wash the rice well and change the water daily. After 3 days the rice may smell bad.
  • Drain all the water from rice.
  • Spread clean and dry cloth over newspapers. Spread the soaked rice over the cloth and let it dry completely.
  • Rice will be dry within 2-3 hours. Due to newspaper water gets absorbed quickly and it helps in drying the rice quickly.
  • You can use hair dryer to dry the rice faster.
  • Put the rice in a blender jar and grind it. Sieve the flour through a strainer.
  • Blend the flour again that remains behind on the strainer. Add jaggery.
  • Jaggery is of 2 types. Chikkicha gudh also known as dark jaggery out of India as it is darker in color.
  • And another is regular jaggery also known as light jaggery.
  • For this recipe use regular jaggery. Mix jaggery well with rice flour.
  • Add this mixture into a blender pot and blend it once more. You can use the food processor for this purpose.
  • Take the mixture in a mixing bowl. Cover and give it a standing time of 2 hours so that rice and jaggery will release the moisture and we can prepare nice dough out of it.
  • After 2 hours either you can grind it in a mortar or blend it once more in a blender jar.
  • If the mixture is dry, you can add 2-3 tsp milk to it and make the dough. Don’t add too much water.
  • Pour the dough into a plastic bowl. Knead it and make a thick dough.

For Anarase:

  • Cover and keep overnight. The next day the dough is nicely fermented.
  • Heat oil in a pan.
  • Take a small ball out of the dough. Grease bit oil to hand and roll it into a disk with hands only.
  • Add poppy seeds on the plate and put anarasa over poppy seeds and roll out a bit again.
  • Don’t keep all the anarase ready. When you fry one anarasa, roll out another one.
  • While frying, the oil should not be too hot. Keep the heat on medium or a bit less.
  • While dropping anarasa in hot oil, make sure that the side having poppy seeds faces up.
  • Sprinkle a little oil over it continuously and fry on low heat for 4-5 minutes.
  • Fry until they turn nice brown and have a net.
  • Remove from oil. Put it on tissue paper.
