To make it, you need:
Maida/all purpose flour - 1 cup
Rice flour - 1 cup
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Jaggery - 1/2 cup
Ghee - 2 tbsp
Curd - 2 tbsp
Oil - for deep frying
Knead all these ingredients together to a smooth pliable dough. It should be similar to chapati dough. If you follow these measurements, you need not add any water while kneading. However, if you feel the dough is too hard, add a little bit of water and knead.
Heat oil in a heavy bottomed kadai. Pinch small balls of the dough. Pat it into a thick circle using your palms. Make a small depression in the middle and deep fry in hot oil, turning over once or twice until both sides are brown in colour.
Drain excess oil.
What I think of the dish:
This is definitely an easy-to-make sweet. It tastes really good - almost like adhirasam. The outer part turns nice and crisp with a bite to it on cooling and the inner part remains soft, giving it a wonderful texture.

Yes, it does remind me of athirasam, but sounds a lot easier to make...
Happy Diwali in advance.
Looks easy and delicious to make. Nice variation to Mal puas from Rajasthan.
looks good :) looks something like neyyappam :)
its pitha.. during the bihu festival these are wide made in assam.. i love them too..
yummy.. its lot similar to adhirasam. may be the maida would make a slight difference. Anyways I am sure I would like it :)
Wow this sweets sounds exactly like our athirasams..soo tempting..
Maida makes this sweet different than our attirasam! But looks tasty!
It looks delicious, esp with that butter-yellow soft centre. I'm surprised, though, that just 2 tbsp of curds is enough to knead two cups of flour, but then I know nothing about kneading.
The precise Assamese name for this preparation is Ghila Pitha.
How i wish i could grab one to taste them. Looks yumm. maybe some one from assam will tell you hwat it is called.
