Indian Sawan 2025 Recipes — Know How To Prepare Anarsa Ki Goli At Home

Anarsa Ki Goli, a sweet rice dish famous in Bihar, is a dessert that tastes slightly sweet with a crunchy outer crust and a soft, slightly chewy core.

Step 1

Rinse 1 bowl of rice well and soak it in water. Wash and soak it 2 more times (with a change of water each time) to remove all starch.

Step 2

Drain the water after the last soak and dry the rice on a cloth. Dry it under a fan for 10–12 minutes. The rice should be still slightly wet.

Step 3

Once semi-dry, grind rice into a coarse powder (not too fine).

Step 4

Take sugar, grind it into fine powder, and sieve. Add the rice flour and powdered sugar to a bowl, and mix well.

Step 5

If the mixture is too dry, add milk until the mixture becomes pliable enough to be gently shaped into balls. Don't over-wet the mixture.

Step 6

Roll the mixture into tiny ladoo-like balls and leave them at room temperature for a few hours to set.

Step 7

Coat the rice balls with poppy seeds or sesame seeds for added taste.

Step 8

Heat ghee in a pan on a medium flame. Fry the Anarsa from one side only until golden and crispy with a net-like texture.

Step 9

Take out of oil, put on paper towel, and allow them to cool. Now, relish your crunchy and sweet Anarsa ki Goli!
