ABOUT Banana Anarsa RECIPE

Anarsa or Adhirasam is an Indian pastry-like snack commonly associated with the Indian festival like Diwali and special occasions like marriages. Traditionally Anarsas are made from soaked rice and jaggery. The rice is soaked in water for 3 days, where water is changed daily to mitigate fermentation. The rice is then dried and ground into a fine powder. and then it is mixed with jaggery. But in today's busy life it's difficult to follow this traditional recipe.Yet I was able to make these delicious Anaras easily by introducing just one magic ingredient "Banana".These 'Banana Anarasas' are equally porous,crunchy ,light and very flavorful like traditional anarsas. Try this easy recipe and give surprise to your family and friends.
