Ingredients
The following are the ingredients needed to prepare two cups of seedai,
- Rice flour - 1 cup
- Urad dal flour - 4 tablespoons
- Grated coconut - 2 tablespoons (dry roasted for a minute or less)
- Sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon (roasted)
- Asafoetida - a pinch
- Butter - 1 tablespoon
- Salt as required
- Water as required for dough
- Oil as required for deep fry.
Preparation Steps
Rice flour:
- Soak around three cups of raw rice in water for 1-2 hours. Strain and dry it for a few minutes. Grind this into fine flour and sieve.
- Take one cup of this flour and dry roast for less than a minute and keep it aside.
Urad dal flour:
- Take around 1 cup of urad dal and dry roast until it turns golden brown. Grind it into fine flour and sieve.
For preparing dough:
- Take a large bowl, add the dry roasted rice flour, four tablespoons of urad dal flour, grated coconut, sesame seeds, salt and butter.
- You can add chilli powder to these if you prefer and this is totally optional.
- Mix the contents well. Add water little by little and knead it.
- Add half a teaspoon of oil and keep it aside.
For preparing seedai:
- Take a heavy bottomed pan, add oil as required for deep frying, let it heat at high flame.
- Meanwhile, grease your palm with oil, take a small portion of dough and start rolling them into small balls.
- Make sure you don't roll it tightly.
- It is better to have few cracks or poke it with a toothpick so that it won't burst while frying.
- Once these balls are ready and the oil is hot enough, lower the flame to medium and drop these balls gently into the pan. Be very cautious.
- Let it fry. Once it starts to turn light brown gently give it a mix to flip them and make sure it is evenly cooked.
- When the sizzling sound and bubbles have stopped you can take these out. Use a strainer or tissue paper to remove excess oil.
- These can be stored in an airtight container and can be enjoyed for over a week.

Seedai Recipe Preparation Steps
When it comes to traditional Indian snacks, Seedai stands out as a delightful treat that is both crunchy and delicious. Perfect for festive occasions or simply to satisfy your snack cravings, understanding the Seedai recipe preparation steps is crucial for achieving the perfect texture and flavor. To begin, gather all necessary ingredients, which typically include rice flour, urad dal flour, butter, sesame seeds, and spices. Combining these elements in the right proportions is essential. Start by mixing the rice flour with urad dal flour and sesame seeds, adding melted butter to the dry ingredients to ensure they form a crumbly dough. After achieving the desired consistency, knead the mixture gently to prepare it for shaping.
Once your dough is ready, it’s time to move on to the next Seedai recipe preparation steps, which involve shaping and frying. Take small portions of the dough and roll them into small balls, ensuring they aren’t too large to allow for even frying. Heat oil in a pan to the right temperature—this is crucial, as overheating can cause the Seedai to burn while underheating can lead to them becoming soggy. Carefully place the shaped Seedai into the hot oil, frying them until they turn a golden brown color. Remember to maintain the oil temperature and fry in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Once cooked, drain the Seedai on paper towels to remove excess oil, and allow them to cool. Enjoy your homemade Seedai as a crunchy snack or serve them at your next gathering, knowing you’ve mastered the Seedai recipe preparation steps to create a delightful treat!
