Vella Seedai | Gokulashtami Recipes

From the day I made uppu seedai, I was waiting to make vella seedai as I love it. I made the flours ready 2 weeks back for the how to posts ok I agree....making vella seedai was in my mind too..But didnt find time to make it and was waiting for the right time. Yesterday on a sunday, unsually I woke up early and seeing my lil one in deep sleep, I thought there is no better time to make this :)
Vella Seedai Recipe


Vella Seedai Recipe - Ingredients
  • Rice flour - 1 cup
  • Urad dal flour -2 tsp
  • Jaggery - 3/4 cup
  • Butter - 1 tbsp
  • Coconut grated - 1 tbsp
  • Sesame seeds - 1/2 tbsp
  • Elachi powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Oil - as required to fry

Vella Seedai Recipe
Method:
First immerse jaggery in water(till immersing level) for 15mins. Once te jaggery is dissolved, strain to remove impurities.
Vella Seedai Step1

Heat a pan and add the jaggery water, just heat it up until bubbles appear. Collect it in a container and switch off. Now dry roast rice flour in low flame in a seperate pan for 3mins until a nice aroma comes. Keep aside.
Vella Seedai Step2

Dry roast coconut until the moisture leaves, then dry roast sesame seeds till it crackles. Collect it in a container and keep aside.
Vella Seedai Step3

Now take the roasted rice flour, add urad dhal flour, butter, elaachi powder and sesame. Then add the jaggery water little by little - You may not end up using it fully.
Vella Seedai Step4

Mix well to form a dough. Take a small piece of the dough and roll it out into small balls little bigger than the ones for uppu seedai. Grease with oil/ghee if it is sticky. Leave it to rest in a tissue paper or muslin cloth for 15mins.
Vella Seedai Step5

Heat oil, add the balls and fry till nicely browned it should be deep brown in color only then it will get cooked inside properly. Drain in a tissue, cool down then store in an airtight container.
Vella Seedai Step6

To me anyday vella seedai is my fav and hubby loves uppu seedai. As I totally have a sweet tooth so obviously my vote is to vella seedai.

i left India 37 years ago and that day was also the last day that I ate mummy-made food. I am searching last 30 years for this recipe which we kokani-jews called it BOR or BORA. No one remember its recipe. I started thinking that it was my mother's invented special snack. I did remember that its made out of rice flour but what else didn't know. You cannot imagine what I went through when i found this recipe.
Thanks a lot.

Sharmilee! :) said...

I am so touched to hear that....do try and let me know. Am waiting for your feedback :)

Saraben said...

Hi Sharmilee,
The time arrived and I made them.

Since we do not eat very sweet (diabetes!!!) I had to put less jaggery. but could not make a dough since it was too dry. I added some warm water.

At last, It was just great. with the same taste as I remember.

Thanks a lot.

Meenakshi shri said...

Sharmilee! :) said...
