Ribbon pakoda/Seeval

One of my favorite snack..Ribbon pakoda , My mom used to make a huge tub of these during Diwali and send it across to all my relatives and friends. Though My mom's recipe takes a longer time and effort, I simplified the recipe and here it is...

Rice flour - 2 cups

Besan flour - 1/2 cup

Dalia/Pori kadalai flour - 1/2 cup

Chilly powder - 2-4 tsp

Unsalted Butter - 2tbs

Salt to taste

Oil for frying.

METHOD

Sieve the rice flour , besan flour and dalia flour , then add all the flours, add chilly powder , butter and salt and mix together. Now add a little water and knead. The dough should get a consistency where it is not too thick or thin.Heat the oil and with the help of murukku presser with pakoda attachement press the dough and fry it in oil for 3 mins each side and drain it in a paper towel.

Note: Keep the flame in medium high.

My mom used to soak raw rice, channa dal, dried red chillies and grind it together and add dalia flour, pepper powder and salt to the dough.This is the original method of doing the ribbon pakoda and it tastes yummy :)
