What is potharekulu?

Potharekulu is a popular sweet delicacy from the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. It is a traditional sweet that is made during festivals and special occasions. The sweet is made by spreading a thin layer of rice starch on a cloth and then sun-drying it. The dried layer is then filled with a mixture of sugar, ghee, and cardamom powder and rolled into a cylindrical shape.

The name "Potharekulu" comes from two Telugu words, "Potha" meaning thin and "Reku" meaning sheet. The sweet is also known as "Poothareku" in some regions.

Potharekulu is famous for its crispy texture and unique taste. It is often gifted to friends and relatives during festivals such as Diwali and Raksha Bandhan. The sweet has gained popularity in recent years, and now it is sold in various parts of India and even exported to other countries.
