Preparation time:5 minutes| Cooking time:25 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
RICE FLOUR | 2 CUPS |
BESAN( BENGAL GRAM FLOUR) | 1 CUP |
RED CHILLI POWDER | 2 TSP |
SALT | AS NEEDED |
ASAFOETIDA | 2 PINCHES |
SESAME SEEDS |ELLU | 1 TSP |
MELTED BUTTER + HOT OIL | 2 TSP + 2 TBLSP |
OIL | FOR DEEP FRYING |
METHOD:
- In a wide bowl, add the rice flour and gram flour .
- Add in the redchilli powder, salt, sesame seeds,butter and asafoetida.
- Mix this into a soft dough using water.
- Heat oil for deep frying in a kadai.
- Add a portion of dough in the murukku press (use the ribbon pakoda achu) and make a round layer in hot oil.
- When it is done on one side flip this carefully using the ladle.
- When the sizzling sound subsides take it out from the hot oil and drain the excess oil in a kitchen towel.
- Repeat this for the remaining dough.
- Store this in airtight container.
Note:
- Always fry the pakoda in hot oil. If you make the make the flame low the pakodas will drink lot of oil.
- Always use fine quality and smooth flour.
- If the flour is not of fine texture the pakoda will break when we make and also it will drink oil.
- If making in bulk, just mix all the ingredients except water.
- Make dough in batches to avoid the pakodas getting reddish in colur.
- Fresh ground pepper powder can be used instead of red chilli powder.
- Always add hot oil to the flour mixture. It gives crispiness to the snacks

Perfect and crispy ribbon pakoda,luks gr8!
ReplyDelete@prathima: i never experienced any difficulty in pressing this.If the dough is of right soft consistency, then it will be very easy to press.If this is too loose, then it will consume more oil and may break.

ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I tried making a snack. It came out very tasty and crispy, a bit dark in color though. Thank you for the clear instructions :) Happy Diwali..!!
ReplyDeleteHi thank you for the recepie i tried it yesterday came out well but came bit hard
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for trying. The reason for the hardness is the dough must be too thick or the oil or butter which we add to the dough must be added less, than mentioned.
DeleteMy nadas are not coming flat.I am using the same mould which you are using.but the murukku is crispy and taste is also gud.
ReplyDeletetried it today...came out wit super crispyness...but it came out lil dark in colr...any other reason for it?? i usd store bought rice flour...
ReplyDeleteThe reason may be because of the colour of the red chili powder and may be slightly over cooked.
DeleteHi.. I tried this today it came out really well.. thank u for the recipe..
