    Coconut Seedai is a very flavourful seedai with the tetxure and flavour of coconut. This is another experiment today and it came out so crunchy.I was in a doubt as this time tried with store bought flour but thankfully the thenga seedai came out so good.

    Traditionally uppu seedai and vella seedai are made for Gokulashtami. Try this coconut seedai for a change and am sure you will love it.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup rice flour I used store bought idiyappam flour
    • 1 teaspoon urad dal flour roasted and sieved
    • 3/4 tablespoon butter at room temperature
    • 1/8 cup coconut grated
    • 1/2 teaspoon white sesame seeds
    • salt to taste
    • oil to deep fry

    Instructions

    • Dry roast rice flour for few mins until a slight vapour comes out from the flour. Do not let it change color. If you check by drawing a line, it will form easily then that's the right stage, stop roasting and switch off.
    • Let it cool down completely. Now add it to the siever.
    • Add urad dal flour and sieve it at least 2 times. Discard the speck.
    • Set the sieved flours aside. Now dry roast coconut until it is dry without any moisture content.
    • Now in a mixing bowl - add the sieved flours, butter, sesame seeds, coconut and salt. Mix well with your fingers so that the butter is evenly distributed.
    • Now add water little by little. Form a smooth pliable dough.
    • Now pinch a small portion. Roll into a ball slightly bigger in size than a pea. 
    • Do not apply pressure while rolling just roll twice or thrice then move to next. Similarly finish the entire dough by rolling into small balls. Place them on a cloth so that it absorbs extra moisture.
    • Heat oil in a pan – add the balls in batches and fry.
    • Fry in low medium flame, keep rolling over for even cooking. Deep fry until golden brown.
    • Drain in tissue paper. Store in airtight container and enjoy Coconut Seedai!
