Tips for making Ribbon Pakoda:

  1. Use homemade rice flour: For the best flavor and texture, opt for homemade rice flour. However, store-bought rice flour can also be used.
  2. Avoid adding too much roasted gram flour: Adding more roasted gram flour can cause the Ribbon Pakoda to crumble and absorb more oil during deep frying.
  3. Maintain a low flame: While deep frying, ensure the flame is kept low to prevent the Ribbon Pakoda from getting burnt.
  4. Achieve the right consistency: The batter should be thin but not runny. If it's too thick, add a little water to adjust the consistency.
  5. Heat the oil properly: Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter. This will help the pakodas cook evenly and become crispy.
  6. Fry in batches: To prevent the pakodas from sticking together, fry them in small batches.
  7. Drain excess oil: After frying, remove the pakodas from the oil and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  8. Store  properly: Store Ribbon Pakoda in an airtight container at room temperature
