First rinse the raw rice twice, and soak it in water for 1 hour.
Drain water completely and then spread the raw rice in a soft towel and allow it to dry say for 30-45mins. It will be slightly moist only. Then transfer this to a mixer.
Then spread the raw rice in a soft towel and allow it to dry say for 30-45mins. It will be slightly moist only and few rice will stick to your hands when you touch and see, this is the perfect stage. Then transfer this to a mixer.

Sieve it well.
Take coconut in a mixer, add little water and grind it.

Then add hot coconut milk little by little. Add hot water if coconut milk isnt enough.
Form a smooth nonsticky dough without any cracks. Take your seepu seedai press...Now fill the murukku press with little dough.
Now start pressing them into long tapes then cut them into small strips (around 10 cm) on a big board or your kitchen counter. I used my wooden board.
Join the ends of the strips around your forefinger to make cylinders. Gently remove it and place it. Repeat the same till the entire dough gets over.
Heat oil, to check if the oil is hot just add a pinch of the dough....if it raises immediately then oil is ready...
Now carefully add the prepared seepu seedai's may be 6-7 at a time and fry till golden brown. Drain in tissue paper. Seepu Seedai ready!
