Ribbon pakoda is one of the highly requested recipe for this diwali in my blog. It is not only so easy to make, but it is really tasty snack as well. We call this as seeval in our place. It is crunchy, spicy and very flavourful.
I made this using a basic dough recipe, which gives your the most tasty and yummy crunchy snack. I have another version, which has a more pepper taste to it, will share it soon
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

Hi mam
Today morning i cooked ola pakoda.. i had prepared for the ingredient to pottukadalai flour, rice flour, salt, chilli powder and white sesame seed.. i got crispy during this time.. but after long time not crispy only dryness.. so what do i do? Please tell me the problem for not crispyness..
Aarthi
you must have made the batter too stiff, so it had dried out.
