Ariselu is a beloved festive sweet, especially in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, often made for Sankranti and Diwali. This golden-brown delicacy is prepared using freshly ground rice flour mixed with jaggery syrup, flattened into discs, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and deep-fried. The result is a crisp yet soft sweet with a nutty aroma that stays fresh for weeks.
