Puthareku

A friend from Hyderabad introduced me to a sweet snack called Puthareku. Puthareku is a folded sheet of sugar with a core of ghee and powdered sugar. Puthareku is from coastal Andhra. Samarlakota and Amalapuram are two coastal towns are known for Puthareku. This sweet is a must during wedding functions for coastal Andhra folks.

Folded Putharekulu.

A folded Puthareku and a partly open Puthareku.

The word Puthareku can be split into two words- Putha and Reku.Putha means 'anything that boils' and Reku means 'sheet'. Putharekulu is the plural of Puthareku.
