Notes
- If you like pepper you can add 1/4 teaspoon pepper powder.
- You can also add garlic paste say 1 teaspoon to the dough.
- To add more spice you can add 1 and 1/2 teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder.
- I used white sesame seeds ,you can add black sesame seeds too.
- This is plain version of ribbon pakoda, you can add garlic, pepper to add more flavor.
- Instead of sesame seeds you can replace it with cumin seeds too.
- 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.
