Ingredients:

Recipe :

  • Step 1 Soak rice

    Firstly wash rice 2-3 times and soak it in water for at least 2 hours.

  • Step 2 Grind to form a batter

    Now preferably use a wet grinder, add soaked rice along with water. Grind till the batter becomes really soft.

  • Step 3 Heat the pot

    Now keep a pot in an inverted position on a stove and let it heat.

  • Step 4 Use a cloth to make Putharekulu

    Now take the batter, add more water to make the batter of running consistency. Now dip a cloth in it properly. The size of a handkerchief is ideal for this purpose.

  • Step 5 Make rice sheets

    Now grease the backside of the pot/kadhai with ghee. Spread the dipped handkerchief on the pot and quickly remove it. This will coat the kadhai with a thin shit of batter.

  • Step 6 Remove when crisp

    The sheet will become crispy in a jiffy. Once crispy, remove it. Repeat the procedure to make more Putharekulu.

  • Step 7 Softening the sheets

    Now take two rice sheets, place them on top of one another and dab a wet handkerchief on them to soften. This will easily help to fold them without breaking.

  • Step 8 Sprinkle sugar

    Now spread a teaspoon of ghee on the sheets and sprinkle 1 tbsp sugar evenly. Once done, fold all the sides inwards to form a rectangular Putharekulu. Once done, fold from one side to prepare a roll.

  • Step 9 Serve

    Repeat the procedure with the leftover batter and prepare folded rolls of Putharekulu.
