Notes

  1. Cumin seeds, sesame seeds and Chana Dal can be added
  2. If you are frying, the seedai has to be fried in a medium low flame, as it will help for even cooking. Heat oil in a pan, When the oil becomes hot gently put the seedai balls to the oil. Cook till the oil sound subsides
  3.  I used the store-bought rice flour. Alternatively, you can wash and soak the raw rice for 1/2 hours and dry them in a cloth till mositure completely dries, and grind them into fine powder
  4.  The seedai dough should not be too tight. Otherwise the seedai will get cracked
  5. Greasing the Seedai with extra oil gives a golden brown seedai
  6. Do not roll the seedai too hard
  7. Pottukadali/ roasted gram flour can be used instead of urad dal
  8. Make sure seedai is almost similar size for even baking
  9. Depending on the size of the seedai baking time may vary slightly 
  10. Baked Seedai turns slightly big after baking. Adjust the size accordingly
