What is Putharekulu?

Putharekulu, known as the “paper sweet,” is a traditional delicacy from Andhra Pradesh, particularly from the village of Atreyapuram in East Godavari. The name comes from two Telugu words: “Putha” (coating) and “Reku” (sheet), reflecting its unique appearance of thin rice paper wrapped around a sweet filling.

The art of making Putharekulu begins with creating the rice paper, a delicate, almost transparent sheet made by spreading rice flour batter over an inverted hot pot. Once the paper is ready, it’s layered with fillings like jaggery, sugar, or dry fruits, often enriched with ghee and cardamom. The result is a melt-in-your-mouth treat with a delightful balance of textures and flavors.

Putharekulu is more than just a dessert; it’s a symbol of Andhra’s rich cultural heritage. Traditionally prepared for festivals and special occasions, it’s a sweet that embodies the warmth of family and the joy of sharing.
