Garlic ribbon pakoda| Garlic seeval recipe, spicy garlic flavored ribbon murukku recipe with step by step pictures, a perfect savory for diwali. I have posted 3 varieties of Ribbon pakoda | ola pakoda recipe with video. I have posted garlic sev recipe too. Yesterday Varsha was telling me to make garlic flavored ribbon pakoda for Diwali. That brought me so many childhood memories. Those days garlic in cooking was so rare at home so once when i asked my grandmother to make garlic flavored ribbon pakoda, she gave a weird look and told me that we don't make those stuff at home. My friends at school bring Garlic sev and Garlic Ribbon pakoda and i used to enjoy it. We lived in Madurai and so we used to get the famous Sattur seeval, Arupukottai seeval from friends who travel to these places quite often. These cities are quite closer to Madurai and the snacks taste so yummy. They use a traditional seeval kattai for making this ribbon pakoda. But since we don't have it at home, i used the achu which i used for making the Coconut ribbon pakoda. Do try this Garlic ribbon pakoda recipe at home and let me know how you liked it.

I followed my masala murukku | poondu murukku recipe procedure for making this garlic ribbon murukku, you can grind garlic only and add red chili powder to the flour and make the dough.
