Wash the rice twice. Fill with water till all the grains are soaked. Keep the rice soaked for 5 days, keep changing the water daily.

On the 6th day, drain the water and spread rice grains on cloth. Let them dry out.

Grind them to a dry powder. Make fine powder as possible. Sieve the powder through a fine mesh.

Combine powdered rice, jaggery, ghee and start kneading. Add milk to make pliable dough. It should be semi soft.

Divide in to 12-14 equal portions and make balls out of it.

Sprinkle khus khus and place a dough ball. Start rolling over it and roll like a bit thick puri.

Heat ghee in a kadai. Deep fry the aanarsa in the ghee till golden brown.

Drain the excess ghee and serve.
