Ingredients

Instructions

  • I used store bought rice flour so roasted it for few mins without changing the color. Roast until its easy to draw a line, set aside to cool.
  • Roast urad dal flour. Roast for few mins until the flour is hot enough to touch, set aside to cool.
  • Roast coconut until moisture leaves, set aside.
  • To a sieve add both the flours along with red chilli powder. Sieve it twice at least.
  • To a mixing bowl add the sieved flour along with butter, sesame seeds, coconut and required salt. Mix well.
  • Now add water little by little. Mix to form a smooth dough, make sure you don't add too much water. It should be slightly dry only.
  • Pinch a small portion, roll with 3 finger without applying too much pressure. It is ok if the balls have slight cracks, it helps to avoid seedai from bursting.
  • Repeat to finish the dough. To be cautious , prick with tooth pick and set aside for 10 mins.
  • Heat oil in a kadai - add the seedais in batches. Deep fry until golden brown.
  • Drain in tissue paper and store. Cool down then store Kara Seedai.
