VELLA SEEDA / SWEET SEEDA

                   Vella seeda is an traditional snack which i always used to prepare for krishna jayanthi. I have already posted uppu seeda version. This vella seeda will be very cruchy and delicious recipe.

Ingredients:

• Raw Rice Flour - 1 cup

• Urad dal Flour - 1 tsp

• Jaggery - 1/2 cup (Grated)

• Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp

• Ghee - 1 tsp

• White Seseme seeds - 1/2 tsp

• Oil - for Deep Frying.

• Fresh grated cocunut - 1 tbsp (optional).

How to make Rice & Urad dal Flour :

• Soak the raw rice in water for for 3 to 4 hrs, drain the water completely and spread it in a cloth to dry. then grind it in a mixer into fine powder.

• sieve it and keep aside.

• Then roast the rice flour till it becomes hot to touch. Should not roast the flour for long time until color changes.Nearly ,it will take minimum 2 mins to roast the flour.

• Dry roast ural dal till it becomes golden brown. Then grind it in a mixer to fine powder and sieve it and keep aside.

Method:

• Take a jaggery in a pan, add just enough water to cover the jaggery and keep it in a low flame.

• Once the jaggery dissolves remove from flame and filter it to remove impurities.

• In a bowl, add raw rice flour, urad dal flour, ghee, cardamom powder, jaggery water, white seseme seeds and mix it well.

• Sprinkle some water and make it into smooth dough. Let the dough rest for 10mins. 

• Then, make medium size balls. all the ball should be in same size balls. If the balls are too big , the seeda will not get cooked inside. So, make medium sized balls as shown below.

• Let the balls dry for 15 mins.(to avoid busting)

• Heat the oil in kadai , then fry the seeda in low flame, should not fry in high flame.

• Do not stir too frequently as the seeda wil break,when they turn golden brown after that bubble sound stops(like below image) then, take the seeda from the oil using laddle and absorbs the oil in tissue papper. 

• Serve the crispy vella seeda and store it in a airtight container.

Tips:

• Do not Fry the balls wet.

• Fry in a low flame.take care while deep frying.
