This is a famous snack of Karnataka! I have learnt many versions of this snack. I am posting the recipe that I liked most. This is my entry for Asha’s RCI Karnataka.
Ingredients
- Rice flour – 2 cups
- Maida – 1/2 cup
- Wheat flour – 1/2 cup
- Pottukadalai or chutney dal(Urikadale)- 1/2 cup
- Dessicated dry coconut (Kopra) – 1/2 cup
- Ghee – 1 table spoon
- Hing – 1/4 teaspoon
- Salt to taste
- Chilli powder – 1 teaspoon
- Oil – 2 cups for deep frying
Method
- Grind the pottukadalai and kopra to a fine powder.
- Lightly roast the wheat flour and maida together on a low flame till it turns light golden.
- In a large bowl mix the rice flour, ground pottukadalai and the roasted flours.
- Add ghee, salt, hing chilli powder and water and knead to a thick dough.
- Heat oil in a kadai on a medium flame.
- Take a little dough and shape into rings (Thickness of a pencil)
- Fry a few rings at a time on low to medium flame, stirring occasionally.
- When the sound subsides, drain and take out on a kitchen paper.
- Store in air tight containers.
Tips
The oil should be on medium heat while dropping the rings and reduced to low till it gets cooked.
Update: I am sending this to Asha of Foodie’s Hope for RCI- Karnataka.

Can you please share the recipe for baking it in the OTG?
Wow. Just like the store bought ones. Bookmarking this too.

Hello Lathamma,
I made them today (for jayanthi). I failed the first 2 batches and then i kind of got the hang of it. They are very crisp and a relaxing task.. the rolling and forming the rings:) What i wanted to ask: is it fine to make a dough of the entire quantity of flours in one shot? I made as and when i finished frying remembering my mom’s tips while making other murukkus (not to prepare dough in bulk.. they’ll turn red). Oh yes… i’m double happy that i didn’t get any bubbles on the kodubale:) hope i had the energy to make seedais too but not with a new born. so that’s for next year:) thank you for this tasty recipe (btw i gave a print-out to my amma as well.. must take her feedback).
Thank you Latha, I tried these for Janmastami & it turned out awesome!. Thanks again & your website is very informative.

Hi
Tried this recipe…Came out very well. Taste was good. But, it was only 90% crisp. I followed the steps (have low flame) but still they were not 100% crisp. Can you tell me why?
Nice website with interesting recipes
