Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Pottukadalai/roasted gram
  • 1/2 cup Chickpeas flour/besan/gram flour
  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1/8 tsp Asafoetida/hing
  • 2 tbsp hot oil
  • 1 cup water
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. Grind roasted gram to make a powder of it.

  2. Sift roasted gram flour, chickpeas flour, rice flour, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, asafoetida, salt all together.

  3. Transfer in a mixing bowl.

  4. Add 2 tbsp hot oil and mix well. The texture of the flour will become crumbly.

  5. Now slowly start adding water to make a soft dough. I took 1 cup of water. You can dd more water if required.

  6. Heat oil for deep frying in a frying pan. To check if the oil is warm, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it comes on top immediately, the oil is warm for frying.

  7. Add a portion of dough in the ribbon pakoda maker and use the ribbon pakoda plate as shown above in the video.

  8. Close the machine and slowly press it and move in a circular motion above the oil and make a round layer.

  9. When it starts turning light golden brown, flip it carefully using a ladle.

  10. When it turns golden brown on both sides, drain excess oil and follow the same procedure for rest of the dough.

  11. Let it cool down completely before storing them in an air-tight container.

Recipe Notes

  • Keep the flame on medium flame.
  • You might have to adjust the flame or lower it the oil starts getting smoky.
  • You can even add finely chopped onions or sesame seeds or pepper too in the dough as it adds to the flavour.
