Anarsa is a delicious sweet dish prepared specially on Diwali and Adhik Mahina as a tradition. It can be served both as dessert and as a snack item. Abhyankar’s Anarasa Pith makes it come out very well. It is a healthy, crispy and reasonably sweet.
दिवाळी फराळातला महत्वाचा आणि बहुतेकांचा आवडता पदार्थ म्हणजे अनारसा. अधिक महिन्यात जावयाला वाण देतानाही अनारसे हवेतच. एक सणासुदीचा गोड पदार्थ आणि एक स्नॅक आयटम म्हणजे अनारसा. गृहिणींना अनारसे करणं किचकट वाटतं पण अभ्यंकर यांचे अनारसा पिठ वापरुन खुसखुशीत अनारसे करणं आता अगदी सोपं आहे.
