Dry Fruits Pootharekulu is a delicious and unique Indian sweet. Pootharekulu, often referred to as "paper sweet," originates from the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. The sweet is made by creating thin, paper-like layers of rice starch, folded and layered with ghee, sugar, and a generous filling of premium dry fruits like cashews, almonds, pistachios, and raisins. The addition of dry fruits not only enhances the flavor but also adds a delightful crunch and richness.
