Seepu Seedai, a delicious crunchy snack popular in Chettinad cuisine in TamilNadu. We usually make uppu seedai, vella seedai, thenkuzhal, adhriasam for festivals like Krishna Jayanthi. But this seepu seedai(also called as Seepu Murukku) is also made by Karaikudi people during festivals or for events like marriages, baby shower etc.  Shaping of this seedai is little time consuming but worth the effort. Conventionally a seepu seedai mould and press are used to make this or we can use unused new comb to make the impression. Coconut milk added to the flours makes this seedai more interesting than the regular uppu seedai. Kids will love to insert each of this murukku in their fingers :-). A lip-smacking, crunchy snack to treat our taste buds!

Tips for making Seepu Seedai:

  1. Homemade rice flour gives nice texture and color to the murukku than store bought rice flour.
  2. First prepare the urad dal flour by dry roasting urad dal till its hot to handle. Then allow the roasted urad dal to cool off and grind into smooth powder.
  3. Sieve both the homemade rice flour and urad flour atleast twice to get perfectly smooth flours. There should not be any lumps or coarse texture in the flours.
  4. Use thin coconut milk to bind the flours together.
  5. We can add sesame seeds or cumin seeds in the flour for enhanced flavor if we like.
  6. Deep fry in low flame till the seedai/murukku is golden brown on all the sides and the bubbles starts to cease.
  7. Allow the murukku to cool off before storing in air-tight container for longer shelf life.
