Whenever my mum does seedai before my marriage she will ask us to help in making the balls we used to scold her saying why on the earth she makes this kind of snacks. Also we used to comment it is better to buy than doing at home.. you have to spend lot of time to get the sizable qty. When I was doing this week I was thinking about it. I have to tell my mum that I have done the balls by myself. This is one of my kids favourite snack
Ingredients:
Rice flour – 3 cup (see below on how to make it)
Urad dhal powder – 5 tablespoon
Butter – 1/4 cup (Thaw to room tempture)
Coconut gratings – 3 tablespoon
Green chillies – 7-10 (adjust to your spice level)
Cumin seeds – 1 teaspoon
Roasted Sesame seeds – 1 teaspoon
Asafoetida- a pinch
Salt to taste
Water for kneading the dough
Oil for deep frying
Ingredients for Rice Flour
Raw rice – 3 cups
Method (Rice Flour):
Wash the rice and soak it for 2 hours. Drain the water. Let it dry by spread the rice on the clean towel and leave it under shade. Let it dry for at least 5-6 hours. After drying grind to power (If you have mills you can send in for making flour). Sieve it to make sure the flour is smooth.
Then fry it in medium flame till nice aroma comes. Sieve it and let it cool down. Store it in airtight container and store it till you need it. It can last up to 2 months
Method (Seedai)
Dry roast urad dhal in low flame till nice armoa comes. Sieve it to make sure you get smooth flour. Keep it aside. Grind the green chillies, cumin seeds, salt into smooth taste. In a broader vessel mix in Rice flour, urad dhal flour, asafoetida, salt, butter, grinded green chilli paste, coconut grating, Roasted Sesame seeds and add water little by little and make it soft and smooth dough. Take pinch of dough and make small ball. While making ball don’t give any pressure just roll it lightly. Do this till you make balls out of all the dough. Heat deep curved pan and pour oil for deep frying. When oil is hot add rolled balls stay away from oil when you add seedai to oil. Let it cook till “shh” sound ceases. or till the bubble reduces. Drain the oil and put it in paper towel to drain the extra oil.
When it is cool down store it in airtight container.
