Ribbon pakoda recipe a simple and crispy south indian snack made for Diwali,many other occassions.

Ribbon Pakoda also called as Nada Thenkuzhal,Ola Pakoda or Ribbon Murukku 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.

I wanted to try grinding the raw rice method but somehow took the shortcut this time but still this tasted equally good. As for now enjoy the visual treat till I am back with another diwali special 🙂

Variations:

  • This is plain version of ribbon pakoda, you can add garlic,pepper to add more flavour.
  • You can skip fried gram dal flour and add besan flour for that quantity too.But adding fried gram dal powder gives a light texture to the pakoda so I prefer adding it.

Shelf life:

  • This keeps well for about a week or upto 10 days in room temperature.
  • Store in a clean dry airtight container.

    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 ?

    -Seshambal
