Murukku maker for Ribbon pakoda
To prepare a homemade ribbon pakoda with garlic we need a press commonly known as murukku achu or "Sev Sancha". Traditionally it is made out of brass but nowadays stainless murukku achu is widely available. Outside India, murukku maker is available in Indian stores and on Amazon. Murukku achu comes with various press attachments to make Indian savory snacks we need the straight long-line press or curved long-line press, that resembles a ribbon.
Should I make rice flour at home for ribbon pakoda?
Traditionally ribbon pakoda is made after grinding rice but to make it fast, I have used store-bought rice flour. Choose fine rice flour for the best result. Idiyappam flour can also be used for ribbon pakoda with poondu. Instant homemade crispy ribbon pakoda without compromise in taste.
Can I skip sesame seeds?
I have used white sesame seeds for extra flavor. Instead, You can use black sesame seeds. Ajwain or cumin seeds can also be added, according to your preference. If the ribbon murukku press you use has a thin slit (ribbon-like) line for ribbon pakoda avoid cumin seeds as they might get stuck.
Can I skip butter for ribbon pakoda?
Little butter gives a nice texture and taste to ribbon pakoda but if you are planning to make ribbon pakoda vegan skip the butter and use 2 tablespoon got oil instead of butter.
What should be the consistency of ribbon pakoda dough?
Very hard ribbon pakoda dough makes it difficult to press through the mold, it will impact ribbons to break while it is pressed out through the pakoda pres. Also with too much water in the dough, ribbon pakodas will absorb a lot of oil while frying. Make the right consistency pliable dough
turns hard to press after a few batches
Besan flour and pottukadalai maavu might absorb water and make the dough dry. In that case, sprinkle water and knead.
How to check if the oil is at the right temperature?
Check the oil temperature by adding a small piece of the dough. If the dough comes up gradually and steadily on top, the oil is hot enough to fry. If it comes up too quickly, then the oil is too hot. Simmer and adjust to the right temperature. If it settles down at bottom of Kadai or comes up very slowly, the oil is not hot enough, increase the heat
Variation for poondu ola pakoda?
I have used chilli powder instead you use pepper powder. other seasonings of choice can be used.
