- 1/2 cup rava
- 2.5 tablespoon chutney dal / fried gram

- 2 teaspoon butter at room temperature
- 1/8 teaspoon hing
- 1/8 teaspoon jeera powder
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- salt to taste
- oil for deep frying
*Note : I used our regular upma rava
Instructions
- Take rava in your mixer and grind it to a fine powder. Set aside.
- Then add fried gram dal to mixer.
- Grind it to a fine powder, Set aside.
- Dry roast coconut till slightly browned.
- In a mixing bowl add rava, fried gram, butter, sesame seeds, jeera, pepper powder, roasted coconut. Mix well.
- Add water little by little to form a dough, it will take only few tablespoon of water so be careful while adding.
- Let it rest for 30-45mins.
- Then pinch and make small balls and let it rest in a news paper. Repeat the process till the entire dough gets over.
- Set aside for 10mins.
- Meanwhile you can heat oil.
- Once oil is heated drop few balls carefully, let it cook in low medium flame roll over to cook evenly.
- Once its golden brown take it out and drain in kitchen towel. Be at a safe distance to be more cautious.
- Cool down and store Rava Seedai in airtight container.
Notes
- Be a safe distance while frying to be more cautious.
- I used our regular upma rava but the recipe suggested to use bombay fine rava. As I had only this rava in hand I used it.
- You can even replace fried gram dal with rice flour.
- If you get bombay rava then use it so that it will be fine and when grinded it will give a more fine powder.
- As my dough was a little coarse, I was not able to roll the seedai as we do for uppu seedai so I just shaped them into balls like how we do for ladoos. If you use fine rava then may be you will have a smooth dough and you can roll it easily.
- It takes very little water to form dough so add little by little - say 2-3 tablespoon water will be just enough.
- Don’t skip fried gram dal else you will not be able to bind and hold together as a dough.
- Rava Seedai cooks faster so keep in low medium flame so that the inside is also cooked perfectly.
