Ribbon Pakodi

Ingredients:
  • Rice flour – 3 cups
  • Besan flour (chickpea flour)  - 1/2 cup
  • Urad flour – 1/4 cup
  • Chili powder – 1 and 1/2 tsp (adjust to taste)
  • Asafoetida – a big pinch
  • Salt to taste
  • Butter – 2 tbsp
  • Oil for frying
Preparation:
  1. Sift all the dry ingredients in a bowl and add butter. Mix well.
  2. Make sure butter is at room temperature so that it is easily mixed with the flour.
  3. Add water and gently knead it into a soft dough. It should not be loose. You should be able to press it with the mould easily. A special mould is used for making this snack and it is available in most of the stores
  4. Heat oil in a deep wide pan over a little above medium temperature.
  5. Fill the mould with some dough.
  6. Now squeeze the dough from the mould into a big round shape in the hot oil. Do not burn your fingers from the steam that comes out while squeezing.
  7. Let it cook for a couple of minutes. Turn and cook both the sides till it becomes golden brown.
  8. Remove from heat and keep it on a paper towel to get rid off the excess oil.
  9. Continue the same procedure with the rest of the dough.
