Maida Sweet Seedai Recipe
Maida Sweet Seedai are small crunchy sweet balls that tastes soft inside and crisp outside. I make them using maida, sugar and little ghee, and they turn golden and puff little when fried. It has that mild sweet taste which just melts slowly in the mouth and feels so comforting to eat.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Take sugar in a mixer jar, powder it fine, set aside.
- In a mixing bowl add ghee, cooking soda, then powdered sugar and maida. Mix well with your fingers for even mixing.
- Then add cardamom powder.
- Add milk little by little to form a slightly sticky dough. Bring it together and knead it to form a slightly goey sticky dough.
- Pinch a small portion of the dough and form small balls. Make the balls and spread them in a dry cloth. Similarly make balls till you finish the entire dough.
- Heat oil in a pan, carefully drop few balls and deep fry it. It will slightly grow in size.
- Cook in low medium flame.
- Keep rolling for even cooking. Cook in low medium flame.
- Deep fry till golden brown.
- Drain in tissue paper, cool down then store.
- Store Maida Sweet Seedai in airtight container.
Notes
- Milk – I usually add milk little by little, dough should be slightly sticky, not tight. If you add too much, it will be hard to shape balls, too less and seedai will be dry.
- Rolling balls – I roll gently, do not press too hard, keeps them soft inside and round. You can keep hand lightly oiled so dough does not stick.
- Frying flame – Fry in low to medium flame, this way seedai cook evenly inside and outside, sugar does not burn, and color turns golden slowly. High flame can burn outside and leave inside raw.
- Even cooking – I keep rolling balls gently in oil with spoon or slotted spatula so all sides become golden brown. Do not overcrowd pan, else temperature drops and seedai absorb oil.
- Storage – I let seedai cool completely before storing in airtight container, keeps them crunchy. If you store while warm, they become soft and lose crispiness.
