Rava seedai recipe with step by step photos. Sharing a very easy to make uppu seedai recipe for Krishna jayanthi 2015, very quick and easy seedai recipe that even beginners can try at ease.
Unlike regular uppu seedai, this rava seddai recipe doesn’t need much preparation, more crunchy and most important it will not burst, not even one :), yes since rava is a bit coarse unlike rice flour and urad dal flour, the seedai will not be very tight while rolling so it won’t burst!
As I mentioned in my milagu thattai post, adding pottukadalai flour to these snack recipes make them really crunchy and also the work is very easy. This rava seedai recipe also uses roasted gram flour/pottukadalai flour. But you can also use urad dal flour if you wish. I got this recipe from my relative after I fell in love with the rava seedai made by her!
To make rava seedai recipe, a very small amount of grated coconut is used. This adds a very nice texture, flavor and taste to the seedai, but be sure to dry roast the coocnut unti color changes very nicely else the seedai will spoil soon.
Few tips and tricks for making seedai easily at home:
1. The dough should be soft and pliable. if the dough is very hard seedai will break and burst.
2. After rolling into tiny balls, fan dry the them at least for 30 minutes, if there is moisture in the seedai, it will burst while frying.
3. Heat the oil well but while frying keep the flame in low, if fried in high flame the outer layer will turn dark soon but inside will remain uncooked.
4. Butter: If less butter than needed is added, then seedai will turn rock hard and you will never be able ti bite it :). If more butter is added the seedai will dissolve in oil while frying.
Now coming to rava seedai recipe, as I said before this is very simple seedai. Only one point to remember is since rava easiy absorbs moisture, you may find it difficult to shape seedai. Keep a small cup of water next to you, moisten your fingers and shape seedai. If making in large quantity, work in batches, keep the dough portions covered.
