Pootharekulu Sugar Andhra Paper Crepe

Pootharekulu (also spelled putharekulu) comes from Atreyapuram, a village in the Godavari region of Andhra Pradesh. The name comes from Telugu: pootha means coating and reku means sheet. Artisans spread a thin rice batter over a heated, upturned clay pot to make sheets as fine as paper. Those sheets are layered with ghee and sugar, then folded by hand. That is why pootharekulu is known across India as the "paper sweet". Atreyapuram putharekulu now holds a GI tag. At MithaiCana, we bring this traditional Andhra sweet to Bangalore, freshly packed at our stores.

Each bite is light, crisp and melts in the mouth. The rice sheets dissolve almost instantly, followed by the richness of ghee and clean sweetness of sugar. Our sugar pootharekulu is milder than the jaggery version, which makes it a good first pick if you are trying putharekulu for the first time. Every piece is hand-folded, checked for thin, even layers, and packed to keep its delicate texture intact. It is ideal for festivals, gifting, and as an after-meal sweet.
