Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Heavy Bottomed Pan

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Homemade Rice Flour We can use store bought rice flour too. 1 Cup - 250ml
  • ½ Cup Urad Dal
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Cup Thin Coconut Milk
  • 2 Cups Oil For Deep Frying

Instructions

Preparing Urad Dal Flour

  • Fry Dry roast the urad dal till light brown and allow the roasted urad dal to cool down.
  • Take the roasted dal and grind it to a smooth powder.
  • Measure ½ Cup of the roasted and ground urad dal powder and sieve it to make sure we use smooth urad dal flour without any lumps.

Preparing Seepu Seedai Dough

  • In a mixing bowl, take the sieved urad dal flour along with rice flour, butter, salt and give a good mix.
  • Then add coconut milk little by little and gently knead it to a smooth dough.

Shaping Seedai

  • Take the Seepu Seedai mould and the press. Grease the inner portion of the achu with oil. Add 2-3 fist full of the seepu seedai dough and close the achu with lid.
  • Take a clean chopping board, squeeze the press and mould and make long strips on the chopping board. Then using a fork, slice the long strips into 2″ long small strips.
  • Then take each small strip and join the ends of the strip to make a cylinder. Repeat the same method for the rest of the dough.

Deep Frying

  • Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, drop a pinch of dough to check the readiness of the oil, of the pinch of dough dropped raises quickly in oil, then the oil is ready. Keep the flame in medium and gently drop the seepu seedai which we had rolled earlier in step 7
