📖 Recipe Card
Kara Seedai
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1 teaspoon urad dal flour
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
- salt to taste
Instructions
- I used store bought rice flour so roasted it for few mins without changing the color. Roast until its easy to draw a line, set aside to cool.
- Roast urad dal flour. Roast for few mins until the flour is hot enough to touch, set aside to cool.
- Roast coconut until moisture leaves, set aside.
- To a sieve add both the flours along with red chilli powder. Sieve it twice at least.
- To a mixing bowl add the sieved flour along with butter, sesame seeds, coconut and required salt. Mix well.
- Now add water little by little. Mix to form a smooth dough, make sure you don't add too much water. It should be slightly dry only.
- Pinch a small portion, roll with 3 finger without applying too much pressure. It is ok if the balls have slight cracks, it helps to avoid seedai from bursting.
- Repeat to finish the dough. To be cautious , prick with tooth pick and set aside for 10 mins.
- Heat oil in a kadai - add the seedais in batches. Deep fry until golden brown.
- Drain in tissue paper and store. Cool down then store Kara Seedai.
