Putharekulu
A traditional sweet of Atreyapuram, Putharekulu is made by wrapping a filling made up of sugar, nuts and dry fruits in a paper-thin rice starch layer. Popularly called the paper sweet, Putharekulu is every Telugu’s first dessert choice.
Ariselu
Especially made during Sankranti, Ariselu is made in almost all parts of South and South-East India but with different names. Made with a mixture of rice flour and jaggery, Ariselu tastes as delicious as it looks.
Rava Laddoo
Do we even doubt the presence of Laddoo on an Indian dessert menu? As the name suggests, Rava Laddoo is made up of semolina with a hint of coconut. Quite easy and labor-saving, this Laddoo is an absolute crowd-pleaser.
Kakinada Kaja
An amalgam of interesting textures, Kakinada Kaja is distinct in its way. With a crispy exterior and a juicy interior, Kakinada Kaja is one of the most loved sweets of South India. Named after the city of Kakinada, these Kaajas resemble the shape of a tube.
Bandar Laddoo
