Hi R,
Tried andra potato curry. Tasted good. Thks
Hello gvb,
Thanks for yr msgs..Today only, noticed that the small maroon color kaaramani is moth whole in hindi; so, if you want this size, can check this name and lobia will be white color kaaramani with a black line, guess.
Just like urad vada, use minimum amt of water. HOpe I am clear.
Bye.
Thanx R..Again there are Varieties in it!!!!Wats the one we use for Nombu adai?I skipped it this year cos i wasn't sure wat it looked like..
the maroon smaller one(moth) since it gives a spl flavor.
You are most welcome, Kavitha.
Uppu seedai:
Rice flour 1 cup
urad flour 1/8 cup
butter, coconut grated 2 tsp each
jeera or sesame seed 1/2 tsp.
salt 3/4 tsp.
hing 1/4 tsp
red chilli powder or pepper powder 1/4 tsp. optl.
Dry fry the flours till you get the consistency like you can put a line without break. Mix well, sieve and keep aside.
Dilute salt with water and strain in order to avoid dirt, if any. Similarly clean the seeds too, if any.
Now, mix all flours with the remaining ingredients adding hot water to make a dough. Make sure that they are all mixed evenly and there is no crack or gap.
Now, start making small balls and put them on the tissue paper; heat oil and when it is ready, deep fry batch by batch depending on the size and oil qty, pour the seedais. Once it is golden brown color, take them out.
Also, watch out if the noise of the oil has stopped and that is one sign; second thing is while you stir, can hear the noise of cooked seedai.
while rolling the seedais, doesn't have to be in regular and heard that one is not supposed to use both the hands. Just one hand and irregular shape is fine. Though dont know the exact reason, I am just following the same.
Once the oil is hot, put the seedais, and keep the flame in medium if you are using iron vanali. While taking the seedais out, keep the flame sim so that the color will not change. Then, again change the fire and according to the heat, start pouring seedais and proceed..
Good luck!!
Wow R..Thank u so much..I'll try it today itself and let u know how it came out..I hope it goes well.
"while rolling the seedais, doesn't have to be in regular and heard that one is not supposed to use both the hands. Just one hand and irregular shape is fine. Though dont know the exact reason, I am just following the same. "
Hello R,
The reason is explained in arusuvai.com . It is to avoid exploding. If we use two hands and make round,tight ball it will explode. I got this info from arusuvai. I like to try ur seedai recipe. May be next week as we won't be in town this weekend. Tks for the recipe.
Thanks, Kavitha for the info..But, heard from people in order to get a crispy seedais, we have to do the irregular balls!
Still, I wonder becoz if you buy seedais from Adayar Ananda Bhavan sweets, Chennai(they are very famous), the shapes will be so uniform ROUND!! I even felt that it could be machine make one? Not sure..
Bye.
Yes R, the store bought seedais r uniform shaped.
