Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rice flour I used store bought idiyappam flour
  • 1 teaspoon urad dal flour roasted and sieved
  • 3/4 tablespoon butter at room temperature
  • 1/8 cup coconut grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sesame seeds
  • salt to taste
  • oil to deep fry

Instructions

  • Dry roast rice flour for few mins until a slight vapour comes out from the flour. Do not let it change color. If you check by drawing a line, it will form easily then that's the right stage, stop roasting and switch off.
  • Let it cool down completely. Now add it to the siever.
  • Add urad dal flour and sieve it at least 2 times. Discard the speck.
  • Set the sieved flours aside. Now dry roast coconut until it is dry without any moisture content.
  • Now in a mixing bowl - add the sieved flours, butter, sesame seeds, coconut and salt. Mix well with your fingers so that the butter is evenly distributed.
  • Now add water little by little. Form a smooth pliable dough.
  • Now pinch a small portion. Roll into a ball slightly bigger in size than a pea. 
  • Do not apply pressure while rolling just roll twice or thrice then move to next. Similarly finish the entire dough by rolling into small balls. Place them on a cloth so that it absorbs extra moisture.
  • Heat oil in a pan – add the balls in batches and fry.
  • Fry in low medium flame, keep rolling over for even cooking. Deep fry until golden brown.
  • Drain in tissue paper. Store in airtight container and enjoy Coconut Seedai!
