Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup jaggery
  • 1/8 cup water
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 tablespoon grated coconut
  • 1/2 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

  • Make sure to fry in low medium flame until nicely browned else it will not get cooked inside. But the color will be dark outside so be patient and cook slowly.
  • While rolling, if there is a crack its ok as it helps to let out the moisture through the crack which will avoid bursting.
