Why Does Seedai Burst? TIPS TO AVOID THEM.

1)If your flour is not sifted well, it may have some lumps so it will burst. 

2)The flour which you use should be very fine, if it is not ground finely, then it will have small grain which makes the seedai burst.

3)Pricking holes on all seedai will help to release the air trapped inside the seedai when you are making balls, this will avoid the seedai from bursting.

4)If you roll the balls tightly then the air bubbles will be trapped inside the seedai. This will make them burst. So roll gently and softly.

5)Drying the seedai for 30 mins, will dry it out and remove any moisture from it . This will prevent them from bursting.

Notes

1)Sifting and roasting flours is very important. It takes the moisture from them. So don't leave that step.

2)Drying the seedai for 30 mins is important, this takes the moisture from seedai and prevent it from bursting.

3)When rolling the seedai, roll gently into round balls. If you roll it tightly then when frying it will burst.

4)You should use soft butter which is at room temperature for this.

5)If you are scared and trying this for first time, then take a needle and prick holes on all seedai. This will prevent them from bursting.

6)You can make this same recipe with store bought rice flour and urad dal flour. But sift it and roast it.

7)When frying seedai. Always fry on medium high heat. If you fry seedai on very high heat then it will get color outside but wont be cooked in the middle. So be careful while frying.
