This is festive time and we celebrate many occasions during the month of august and september.KRISHNA JANMASHTAMI is celebrated with pomp and joy throughout the country and this vella seedai or sweet version of seedai is apt for offering it to GOD.Last post was salt version and this sweet seedai is prepared along with uppu seedai and offered as naivedhyam.It is slightly bigger in size compared to salt seedai and the taste is phenominal.I always remember my childhood days while rolling these out as me and my brother helped our mom.As kids these small events were always special and memories sweet.My daughter helped me this time for making these balls.Here is hoe sweet seedai is made..
INGREDIENTS
| Rice Flour | 1 cup |
| Urad Dal Flour | 2 tsp |
| Jaggery | 1/2 cup |
| Cardamom Powder | 1/2 tsp |
| Water | as needed |
| Coconut(grated) | 3 tsp |
| White Sesame | 1/2 tsp |
| Butter | 1tsp |
| Oil | to deep fry |
HOW TO MAKE
- Powder jaggery and add it to a pan of water and make a syrup.Filter it to remove impurities.
- Add the syrup in a wide bowl followed by rice flour,urad dal flour,sesame seeds,cardamom powder,butter and grated coconut.Make a lump free dough.
- Make balls out of the dough.Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the balls in batches.
- Vella Seedai/Sweet Seedai is ready for offering to LORD KRISHNA.
Notes
- Don’t form any lumps while making the dough.
- Don’t make the syrup thick as that will result in hard seedais.
- Don’t make the shape too perfect,just rolling is enough,otherwise seedais tend to break.
