Ayirasa Pakwan is a delicious sweet made of Jaggery and Rice Flour
Made of jaggery and rice flour, Ayirasa Pakwan holds a special place in Chhattisgarhi cuisine.
To prepare this delicacy, rice is washed and left to dry overnight. The rice so dried is then grinded in ‘dheki’ and then the rice flour so made is mixed with jaggery syrup and fried in oil to prepare Ayirasa Pakwan.
This dish is an important part of the local festivities of the state.
