POOTHA REKULU


Ingredients: - Sugar – 1 kg, Cardamoms – 50gms, rice flour – 750gms, ghee – 100gms, cashew nuts – ¼ kg.

Method: - Now the layers are supposed to be made with Rice dough which is very liquidly and nearer to white colored water. Good earthen pots are reversed and are coated with this liquidly rice dough. The reversed pots are then placed on fire such that the fire burns the inner side of the pot. Nice dry wafer like rice layer is made. (Another way to make sheets)Mix the flour with ghee and water. Then press them very thin. (with a puri maker or a roller )and cut into long strips of each sheet into 4 inch wide. The sugar is ground so finely that it would be very nearer to talcum powder grade of smoothness which is carefully mixed with ghee. (Some people add cardamom powder also).This sugar powder and ghee combination is applied between sheets of rice made above.
