I've been using 'Baba's Puttu mix' to do 'Puttu'. It's very tasty. But how make 'Puttu' with just rice flour & coconut? Can anybody tell me? I heard that Malayalees r experts in doing Puttu.

Hello Chithra,
I am sorry, I don't know the Madhuraseva recipe. I hope someone may help you with the recipe soon. Good luck.

Hell Grace!
I know the recipe of 'Adhirasam' with raw rice and jaggery, not with brown sugar. If you want the recipe, then I will write about it.

Hello Chithra P,
Finally I found the recipe for Madhuraseva from an old cook book. I have posted the recipe at the 'Recipes from Kerala' thread.

Hope this is the same recipe you are looking for.

Hello Grace!
Here is the recipe of Adhirasam. I have tried so many recipes of adhrasam in the past. Only this
recipe gave me satisfaction and I have learnt this from MrS.Malliga Badhrinath's demonstration in the TV.
ADHIRASAM
Soak 1/2 kilo raw rice in the water for 1/2 hour and then drain the rice in a colander. You can grind the rice even when the water is not fully drained up.Then grind it to a nice flour.Sieve the flour only once.Then immediately make syrup from 300gms jaggery to a pearl-like consistency.When the syrup is bubbling, reduce the flame to low heat. If we drop a little syrup in a cup of water and then if we could form the syrup into a smooth ball,[not a stiff ball] then put off the fire. Sprinke the rice flour little by little in the syrup and mix well. Sprinke 1/2 sp cardamom powder and mix well. The batter must not be very thick. If we make a small ball from it, then it must be a very smooth ball. It must not break. That is the correct consistency for adhirasam. Pour the batter in a greased bowl[greased with ghee]and pour and spread 11/2 tbsps ghee on top of the batter and cover it. The next day you can prepare the adhirasams.When you prepare the adhirasams, heat the oil on a medium fire and make adhirasam.It should not be made on high flame.Thanks.

Hello Devi!
I happened to see yr posting today only. That is the reason for my delayed reply.
There is no way to make adhirasam with any other rice flour. It is a must that we should grind the soaked-drained rice to a fine powder. We could feel the chillness when we seive the flour.If the powder is very dry, then the adhirasams will not be soft.
