Pootharekulu Bellam Andhra Paper Crepe

Bellam pootharekulu is the original, traditional form of the famous Andhra paper sweet from Atreyapuram in the Godavari region. Bellam means jaggery in Telugu. For generations, families here have made putharekulu by spreading rice batter on a hot, upturned clay pot to form paper-thin sheets. The sheets are then layered with ghee and powdered jaggery and folded by hand. Atreyapuram putharekulu now holds a GI tag. MithaiCana brings authentic jaggery pootharekulu to Bangalore, available online and at our stores.

Jaggery gives this pootharekulu a deeper, caramel-like sweetness, with an earthy flavour that sugar cannot match. The paper-thin rice layers stay crisp and melt instantly, while ghee adds richness to every fold. Many people prefer bellam pootharekulu because jaggery is unrefined and tastes more traditional. Each piece is hand-folded and packed with care to protect its fragile layers. It is a favourite for Sankranti, Diwali, weddings and gifting.
