Ingredients

  • 1 cup Rice Flour HOMEMADE
  • 2 tsp Urad Dal Flour HOMEMADE
  • 1.5 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tbsp grated Coconut
  • ¾ cup grated Jaggery
  • ½ cup Water
  • 2 tsp Sesame Seeds
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • Take jaggery in a bowl, add in water and let them soak for 5 mins. Now take them in a pan and heat it, it will come to a boil. Strain this and set aside.
  • Take rice flour, urad dal flour in a dry pan and roast for 2 mins or so.
  • Now take this in a sifter and sieve well.
  • Take this in a bowl, add in butter, sesame seeds, coconut in a bowl and mix well.
  • Add in jaggery water little by little and make a dough.
  • Take small portion from the mix and shape it into a small ball.
  • Set aside for 30 mins so it dries up.
  • Heat oil for deep frying, drop the seedai in oil and fry till it gets light colour. Now reduce the flame to medium and fry till dark.
  • Drain and cool it down.
  • Store it in a container and enjoy.

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.
