KAARA SEEDAI
Ingredients:
1 cup rice flour roasted, and sieved well
1 ½ tbs urad dal flour roasted and sieved well
2 tsp butter or hot oil
2 tsp scrapings
½ tsp cumin seeds
¼ tsp asafetida powder
¼ tsp chillie powder
Salt to taste.
Method:
Mix the rice flour, urad flour, cumin, coconut scrapings, asafetida,
Chillie powder , and hot oil or butter.
Mix the dough with a sprinkling of water. The dough should just be such that you can make a ball out of it. There should be no lumps.
The seedai will burst open if there are any lumps.allow the balls to rest for at least an hour, so that they will dry out and won't blast in your face.
Roll the the dough into small balls and place them on a muslin cloth
For a while. The cloth will absorb little moisture from the seedais.
Heat the oil in a wok for frying.
Put little seedais at a time. Do not over crowd the wok.
Do not turn the seedai for a while. Then slowly turn them over and fry until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oil and place on paper towels.
Store when really cooled.
Note: Hold a shield to your face when you fry the first batch. Ha! Ha!
Sorry my seedais are not smooth"
