Seedai is something I enjoy eating rather than making. Even though the ingredients are simple, you must exercise caution as it has the potential to pop. If you use rice flour, make sure to roast it first to reduce the chances of it popping out.
When I make Seedai, I only use 1 cup and no more. Because making those adorable little balls takes time. Please use if you need to lend a hand. Also, before you begin frying, you must first prepare all of the balls (seedai). Many seedai recipes have been posted on my blog. Please try out for Janmashtami.
Rice flour – 1 cup Urad dal flour – 2 tablespoons Coconut – 2 tablespoons Butter – 1.5 tablespoon Chili powder – 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds – 1 teaspoon Salt to taste oil to deep fry
Step by step instruction to make Kara SeeDai
Dry roast rice flour till steam rise from there. Dry roast Urad dal flour
Dry roast coconut till slight brown. Take everything in a broader bowl except oil for deep fry
Mix well till flour look like crumble. Add water bit by bit and make a tight dough (it would be little dry not saggy)
Make tiny balls and keep it aside. Heat oil for deep frying. Add one tiny ball stay away to see whether it pop (it might pop after 1 or 2 mins) once you test it you can add few at one time.
Fry in low flame in batches. Make sure you have stir after 1 to mins only. It will take some time to get it cooked cook till “shh” sound subsides. It will take a while. Once done drain oil and place it on kitchen tissue to drain the extra oil.
Once cool down store it in an airtight container
Notes
Roasting the flour is important step so don’t skip
you can close the frying pan with lid with small gap to let the steam release
I love Seedai of course to eat not to make. So lazy even though it is with simple ingredients also you have to be careful as some time it can pop. If you are using rice flour make sure you roast rice flour to reduce the chances of popping out. Whenever I make Seedai I use only 1 cup not more than that. As it takes time to make those cute little balls. If you have to help hands pls. use. Also, you prepare all the balls (seedai) first before you start frying. I have posted many seedai recipes in my space. Pls. try out for this Janmashtami.
