- ¼ cup jaggery
- ⅛ cup water
- ½ tablespoon butter at room temperature
- ½ tablespoon grated coconut
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds
- a pinch dry ginger powder
- a pinch cardamom powder
- oil to deep fry
Instructions
- To a sauce pan - take karupatti (palm jaggery) add water to it. Let it boil for a while until palm jaggery melts. Strain and keep aside to cool.
- In a pan add rice flour (I used store bought), add urad dal flour (homemade). Homemade rice flour link here.
- Dry roast until it slightly fumes up. Cool down then sieve it well at least twice.
- Now add this to a mixing bowl or pan - add butter, sesame, dry ginger powder, cardamom powder, coconut.
- Mix well so that butter is evenly mixed. Now add palm jaggery syrup to it.
- Mix well then add little water, bring together to a soft dough.
- Roll into marble sized ball and spread in kitchen towel. Repeat to finish the dough. Set aside for 10 mins.
- Heat oil, add few balls and fry first. Fry till reddish brown.
- Drain in tissue. Repeat to finish. Always fry in batches, do not overcrowd.
- Cool down then store Karupatti Seedai.
Notes
- Dry Roasting Flour – I usually roast rice flour and urad dal flour together until slightly smokes up. This gives roasted flavour to the seedai and makes it more crunchy.
- Karupatti Syrup – I always boil karupatti with water until it melts completely then cool it down.
- Rolling Balls – I roll into marble sized balls and keep them on a towel for 10 minutes. If cracks appear it is fine because it helps moisture escape during frying.
- Frying Temperature – I fry on low to medium flame until reddish brown color.
- Storage - I let seedai cool completely before storing in airtight container, keeps them crunchy.
