seedai is a must for onam too!
hey,
Loved all the goodies for srijayanthi…brought back old memories 🙂
As I have tasted, Vella seedais are always hard…Will try your version. Is there anything that we can make to be soft or it is how it should be ?
Forgot to mention about the coconut spread – OM – lovely
Your vella seedai looks perfect, i have tried it only once in my life, and there were cracks in seedais after frying. Please tell me how to avoid it.
Cheers

worst type of preparation guidance
rice flour means how to prepare it. Whetehr wash and dry , fry , gring, or seived.. how..?
refer menu today blog and learn
dear uma
perhaps you did not take the time to read properly. we have already posted the method to prepare rice flour for the bhakshanams. and the same has been linked in the post. all you needed to do was to follow the link in the introduction of the recipe:
“Use the fresh rice flour and urad dal flour prepared for these snacks.”
perhaps to some like you, it is not clear that links are meant to be followed for further intructions. we have updated the post in order to clarify that. thank you for your feedback. we welcome criticism but the use a word like “worst” is very harsh and could have been avoided.
regards
lakshmi and latha
Thanks a bunch for these yummy recipes, will surely try it out
Hi,
good recepies. I tried vella cheedai but it got broken. I don’t know where i went wrong
Do we have to fry the rice flour for vella seedai?
My mom always makes vella seedai but this time we tried your method for Krishna Jayanthi and it came out very well. So we are going to make it once again today for snack. Thank you very much. When I make bhakshanam, I always refer to your blog for a quick guidance, rather than calling my mom when she is India. Cant tell you enough how helpful it is. Appreciate your efforts.
It was interesting when I found this website, because it has totally useful content for many people. I wish my Sbobet website can be later this website.
