Instructions

  • Knead the dough with Milk or Ghee to soften it.
  • Ensure the oil is not over hot, which will burn the outside and remain uncooked inside.
  • Drop the flattened dough carefully in the oil.
  • Once it rises up, immediately flip it and cook.
  • Once it turns golden brown, drain from oil.
  • You must use another ladle and press it to squeeze out the excess oil, as it may retain some oil in it.
  • Repeat the process for the rest of the dough.

Notes

  • If refrigerated, keep the dough outside for at least 8 hrs or overnight at room temperature. Do not take our from the fridge and make immediately. Bring to room temperature.
  • Cook in low flame to make sure it gets cooked evenly and also make sure not to overcook. It makes the Adhirsam harder.
  • If the dough is very thick, add a few drops of milk and knead to soften.
  • Flip immediately once it rises up after you add the dough in oil.
  • In case, the Adhirsam is chewy or hard, steam it for 3 minutes in an idli plate/ steamer. It becomes soft. Just for troubleshooting
