Ribbon Pakoda

Ribbon Pakoda also called as Nada Thenkuzhal is one of my fav snacks. As kids we used to call it oatu pakoda as it sounds catchy 🙂 When I thought of making diwali savoury snacks to post here the first 2 items I listed down were omapodi and ribbon pakoda, as last year there were many friends and readers requesting for both.

Ribbon Pakoda Recipe

I wanted to try grinding the raw rice method but somehow took the shortcut this time but still this tasted equally good. The spicyness and the sesame garlic flavour is the best in this recipe so dont miss it. I will sure try that method too and make a post atleast by next diwali haha 🙂 As for now enjoy the visual treat till I am back with another diwali special 🙂

My Notes:

  • If you like pepper you can add 1/4 tsp freshly ground but make sure its fine enough to get through the press.
  • Also grind garlic to a very fine paste. You can even grind redchillies with garlic and skip red chilli powder.

  50. Hi Sharmi,

    Thanks for the recipe.

    I used the below ingredients as per your recipe.

    Rice Flour(Idiyappam flour) – 1 cup – Boiled Rice
    Besan Flour (Kadalaimaavu)- 1/2 cup
    Split gram dal (Pottukadalai) – 3 tbsp

    However, the Ribbon Pakoda was very thin and has taken a lot of oil.

    Can you let me know the reason or how to fix it ?
