But in US we hardly do anything..This is our second Diwali after marriage and I thought I should making something.. Never ever have done seedai and all. Its amma who does everything and I used to help her in doing it. But now things have changed and its me who has to do everything.. Kinda weird na ;)...So here is the way I made seedai.. My hubby asked me do I need something else as well to eat this ;).. I said no..your teeth itself is enough..ye it was soft and crispy..never thought it will come out so well..<br /><br />Ingredients:<br /><br />Rice Flour - 1 cup<br />Besan - 2 tbsp<br />Sesame seeds - 1tbsp<br />Salt<br />Ghee - 1tbsp<br />Oil for frying<br />Little chilli powder<br /><br />1.Mix all the ingredients together.Add little water and make a tight dough into it.<br />2.In a pan add oil and let it heat.<br />3.Make small balls tightly with the dough.Make sure its really tight else it would burst while frying.<br />4.Fry until little brown and then put them into a tissue paper so that it will absorb the oil.<br /><br />Note: In the pic there is a small piece left.What happenned was when I was frying it just bursted and fell away. I was like frightened.
