Servings2 cups
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rice flour / idiyappam flour store bought
- 1/2 teaspoon urad dal flour
- 1/4 cup thick curd I used hung curd
- 1/2 teaspoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon jeera
- a tiny pinch hing
- salt to taste
- water as needed
Instructions
- Dry roast rice flour till it fumes slightly. Set aside.
- Now add urad dal flour and roast it the flour fumes a bit. C
- ool down completely then transfer to sieve. Sieve well. Discard the coarse part. Now take hung curd.
- To a bowl - add sieved flour, butter, curd, jeera, hing and required salt. Mix well first so that the ingredients are evenly distributed especially butter. Now add water little by little.
- Form a soft dough. Knead it for 3-5mins. Gather together and keep it ready.
- Pinch a small piece of the dough and roll it out into small balls. Roll gently, do not roll tight. Just roll with the 3 fingers shown. If there is a crack its ok as it helps to let out the moisture through the crack which will avoid bursting.
- Let the seedais rest in the cloth for 10 mins for the extra moisture to be absorbed.
- For extra precaution : prick each seedai with a toothpick just a slight prick is enough.
- Heat oil, add few balls and fry in low medium flame. Roll and fry for even frying.
- Fry in batches. Fry till it is golden brown in color only then it will get cooked inside properly.
- Drain in a tissue, cool down then store in an airtight container. Enjoy Curd Seedai!
Notes
- You can use both rice and urad dal store bought flour. But I had homemade urad dal flour so used it.
- Make sure to roast and sieve well because these are the main steps to avoid bursting.
- I mostly do not prick but sometimes I do. As its store bought flour I did it to be extra careful :)
- You can add 1/2 teaspoon coconut too. If you are adding roast for a while then add it
