Author:	Priti	Category:	Snack	Cuisine:	South Indian
Prep Time:	10 Mins	Cook Time:	30 Mins	Total Time:	40 Mins
Yields:	4 Cups

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups - Rice Flour
• 1 Cup - Besan/Kadalaimaavu
• 2 tbsp - Sesame Seeds
• 3 tbsp - Hot Oil
• To Taste - Salt (I used 1.5 tsp)
• A Pinch - Soda-Bi-Carb (optional)
• 2 tsp - Red Chili Powder
• 2 tsp - Garlic Powder/Paste (optional)
• To Deep Fry - Oil

Method:

1. Sieve besan and rice flour together in a bowl, add red chili powder, salt, soda (if using), sesame seeds (I used black variety), garlic powder or paste (if using), 3 tbsp hot oil and mix everything well.
2. Add water in small quantity and make soft stiff dough. Heat oil in a wok for deep frying.
3. Great a Sev or murukku press with oil, use long slit disc or plate and fill dough. Press directly in oil in cirular motion starting from edge to center. Do not overlap, and fry in medium heat until golden brown or when the bubbles ceases, turn over and until bubbles ceases again. 
4.  Drain in tissue paper and repeat same for rest of dough.

Allow to cool ribbon pakoda completely before storing in air tight containers. Shelf life for this is around 3 weeks.

Notes

• You can add white or black sesame seeds.
• Adding garlic powder or paste is optional, if you are adding garlic paste then it has to be very fine and not grainy.
• Fry only in medium to slow flame for even cooking.
• You can add fried gram (roasted chana dal/chutney dal/Pottukadalai) powder instead of besan. For that grind 1 cup fried gram dal in mixer, sieve and measure 1 cup flour and add with rice flour.

Enjoy crunchy pakoda with tea or make your festive more happening.
