Ribbon pakkado

Ribbon pakodo was the name introduced to me  by my in laws, in our house its called just pakodo. I like this snack because its easy to make.This was the first snack that I prepared after my marriage. Now let us see the ingredients required for this snack.

  • Besan flour or kadala mavu-3 cups
  • Rice flour-1 cup
  • Jeera power-1 tsp
  • Salt- as per your taste
  • Chilli powder-1tsp
  • Hing-1 pinch
  • Oil for deep frying
You also need the mould or achu (with a hole which looks like a slit)
Procedure:

Mix all the ingredients except the oil.
Add water and mix until it becomes a soft dough.No need to knead like what we do for chappathi.
Put this dough in the mould.
Heat the oil in a frying pan.
Check whether the oil is hot by testing with a pinch of dough.
The dough should rise to the surface of the oil immediately.
Press the dough directly in the oil.
Flip it over.
Take it off the oil once it has turned golden brown.
Enjoy!
