Preparation Steps
Rice flour:Â
- Soak around three cups of raw rice in water for 1-2 hours. Strain and dry it for a few minutes. Grind this into fine flour and sieve.Â
- Take one cup of this flour and dry roast for less than a minute and keep it aside.
Urad dal flour:
- Take around 1 cup of urad dal and dry roast until it turns golden brown. Grind it into fine flour and sieve.
For preparing dough:
- Take a large bowl, add the dry roasted rice flour, four tablespoons of urad dal flour, grated coconut, sesame seeds, salt and butter.Â
- You can add chilli powder to these if you prefer and this is totally optional.
- Mix the contents well. Add water little by little and knead it.
- Add half a teaspoon of oil and keep it aside.
For preparing seedai:
-
- Take a heavy bottomed pan, add oil as required for deep frying, let it heat at high flame.
- Meanwhile, grease your palm with oil, take a small portion of dough and start rolling them into small balls.
- Make sure you don’t roll it tightly.Â
- It is better to have few cracks or poke it with a toothpick so that it won’t burst while frying.
- Once these balls are ready and the oil is hot enough, lower the flame to medium and drop these balls gently into the pan. Be very cautious.
- Let it fry. Once it starts to turn light brown gently give it a mix to flip them and make sure it is evenly cooked.Â
- When the sizzling sound and bubbles have stopped you can take these out. Use a strainer or tissue paper to remove excess oil.
- These can be stored in an airtight container and can be enjoyed for over a week.
