Anarsa or Hilsa is an Indian rice-based biscuit. It is commonly associated with the Hindu festival of Diwali in Maharashtra and Bihar, along with other special occasions.[1][2][3] Its ingredients include jaggery (unrefined cane sugar), rice, poppy seed and ghee (clarified butter).
Preparation
Anarsas are made from soaked powdered rice, ground, and mixed with jaggery to create a dough which matures for 4-5 days and is then rolled in white poppy seeds, pressed into rounds, and fried.[2] The disks are fried poppy-coated side first.[4]
In a variation from the standard recipe, a banana is added to the rice flour base.[5] The Bihari variation of anarsa tends to be rounder and ball-shaped as opposed to the flatter one in Maharashtra.[6]
