Ingredients

Rice - 2 cups
Powdered Sugar - 2 cups
Milk
Poppy seeds
Oil

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 the rice 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 two cups of powdered sugar to four cups of rice flour and mix it. Mix the rice by hand for 15 minutes. Then add 1+1/2 spoon of milk and mix again. Make big balls of kneaded dough.
Keep the prepared balls to soak for two days. On the third day, take two balls and break them. Add a spoonful of milk and knead the dough once again.
Take a small ball of dough and make anarsa from it as shown in the video.
While preparing the anarsa, apply poppy seeds on the bottom side. You can do this with the help of Oddy Ecobake paper. Then spread some poppy seeds on the paper and put dough on top.
When the anarsa is ready, keep the poppy side up and drop the anarsay in the oil and fry it.
