Ribbon Pakoda (Oatu / Ola Pakoda) Recipe | Diwali Snacks

Like 20 64 5

Ribbon Pakoda also called as Nada Thenkuzhal is one of my fav snacks. As kids we used to call it oatu pakoda as it
sounds catchy :) When I thought of making diwali savoury snacks to post here the first 2 items I listed down were
omapodi and ribbon pakoda, as last year there were many friends and readers requesting for both.

Ribbon Pakoda (Oatu / Ola Pakoda) Recipe | Diwali Snacks | Sharmi... http://www.sharmispassions.com/2012/10/ribbon-pakoda-ola-pakod...

I wanted to try grinding the raw rice method but somehow took the shortcut this time but still this tasted equally
good. The spicyness and the sesame garlic flavour is the best in this recipe so dont miss it. I will sure try that
method too and make a post atleast by next diwali haha :) As for now enjoy the visual treat till I am back with
another diwali special :)

Ribbon Pakoda Recipe - Ingredients

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 25 mins | Makes : 1.5 cups

Recipe Category: Snack| Recipe Cuisine: South Indian

For the marinade:

Rice Flour(Idiyappam flour) - 1 cup
Besan Flour (Kadalaimaavu)- 1/2 cup
Split gram dal (Pottukadalai) - 3 tbsp
Butter - 1.5 tbsp
Chilli powder - 2 tsp
Garlic paste - 1 tsp
Sesame seeds - 3/4 tbsp
Salt - to taste

Method:

1. Grind gram dal to a fine powder, sieve it once. In a mixing bowl - add rice flour, besan flour, gram dal powder,

3. Press the dough starting from the edge to the center in a circular motion in the preheated. Do not add more
layers to ensure even cooking.Turn over to other side when the bubbles ceases and cook again till bubbles
ceases(shh sound reduces). Drain it tissue paper, cool down completely and then store it in an airtight
container.Repeat the same for the prepared remaining dough too.

You can keep this for a week and enjoy this as a tea time snack!

My Notes:

If you like pepper you can add 1/4 tsp freshly ground but make sure its fine enough to get
through the press.
Also grind garlic to a very fine paste. You can even grind redchillies with garlic and skip red
chilli powder.

Ribbon Pakoda (Oatu / Ola Pakoda) Recipe | Diwali Snacks | Sharmi... http://www.sharmispassions.com/2012/10/ribbon-pakoda-ola-pakod...

Rice Flour(Idiyappam flour) - 1 cup - Boiled Rice

Besan Flour (Kadalaimaavu)- 1/2 cup
Split gram dal (Pottukadalai) - 3 tbsp

However, the Ribbon Pakoda was very thin and has taken a lot of oil.

Can you let me know the reason or how to fix it ?
