oh wow pls explain what is this and how is it made? Looks healthy and yummy 😋

It’s Telugu sweet Pootharekulu. The name of the sweet literally means 'coated sheet' in the Telugu language—pootha means 'coating' and reku (plural rekulu) means 'sheet' in Telugu.

The sweet is wrapped in a wafer-thin rice starch layer resembling paper and is stuffed with sugar, dry fruits and nuts. The sweet is popular for festivals, religious occasions and weddings in the Telugu states.

It’s not easy I think , grand parents use to make in house, now purchasing from sweet shops n online .

Preparation from online

Pootharekulu is made from a particular kind of rice batter called jaya biyyam ('biyyam' meaning rice), combined with powdered sugar and ghee (clarified butter). To make the edible film, a hot pot is prepared. To make the pot suitable, a hole is made in it, and to smoothen the surface for three days, the pot is alternately heated and wiped with a cloth dipped in oil. To make the films, coarse rice is ground for nearly two hours and made into a batter. This batter is then diluted; a thin cloth is dipped in the solution and put on the inverted pot with flame under it. The edible film forms on the pot instantly.The edible film is then wrapped with sugar and/or jaggery and coated with ghee.

Ohh thanks for the detailed explanation 👍🏼
There is this Thai/Vietnamese appetizer called summer rolls - seasonal veggies/mango mix karke rolled into thin rice layer.
so this looks similar but with nuts and jaggery 👍🏼

Who sends a smiley face?! Not him. Not even when I sent him a smiley face after a thank you like 5 or 6 months ago?
