Directions

Wash 2 cups of rice and keep it to soak for three days. Change the water in the rice every morning and evening while soaking the rice for three days. On the fourth day, drain the water from the rice and keep it under the fan to dry on a cotton cloth.
When the rice is slightly dry, grind it finely. After grinding the rice, sieve it. Add 1 cup of jaggery to 4 cups of rice flour and mix it. Mix the rice by hand for fifteen minutes. Make big balls of kneaded dough. Keep the prepared balls in the fridge to soak for two days.
On the third day, take a small ball of dough. Spread the dough on a piece of Ecobake cooking paper with poppy seeds sprinkled on it. When the anarsa is ready, keep the poppy side up and drop the anarsa in the oil and fry it.
