ABOUT Anarsa RECIPE

Anarsa is an authentic sweet dish especially made during the festive seasons and special occasions. This is my grandmother's heirloom recipe of anarsa (inarsa in her language), which I have learned from my mother. The main ingredients of anarse are rice and jaggery but I have made it sugar and also added coconut powder as a twist in the recipe. It takes time to prepare these anarsas but the outcome is awesome and worthwhile. Must try recipe.
