Description
Athirasam is one of Tamil Nadu’s most cherished traditional sweets, known for its golden-brown crispiness on the outside and soft, chewy texture on the inside. Made with a simple yet flavorful combination of rice flour and jaggery, this heritage delicacy has been part of South Indian festivities for hundreds of years, especially during Deepavali, weddings, and temple offerings. The preparation of Athirasam requires precision and care. Freshly ground rice flour is mixed with warm jaggery syrup, then allowed to rest and ferment for a day. This resting period enhances the flavor and gives Athirasam its classic texture. Each portion of dough is shaped into round discs and deep-fried in pure oil or ghee until it develops a rich caramelized sweetness and perfect golden hue. The deep, earthy flavor of jaggery, combined with subtle cardamom notes, makes this sweet irresistible. At Suswaad, we prepare Athirasam using a traditional recipe and premium ingredients to preserve its authentic taste and nostalgic charm.
