Uppu Seedai we make for Gokulashtami and the festival is nearing I wanted to post the uppu seedai recipe , a traditional snack. I used to do this every year and the recipe I got from a Tamil magazine “Mangayar Malar” some 21 years back. I was a beginner at that time and saw that recipe in the magazine, basically they gave a lot of tips for beginners. Those days making STD phone calls to amma was too expensive. Being a newly married with zero experience in Bakhshanam making, I managed to do this with the help of the tips given in the book. I could say it’s a huge success without bursting of single seedai. Later year after year I could perfect the same recipe. Till today I am following the same recipe and I can confidently make seedai without any fear. Vella seedai and uppu seedai, if you follow the recipe perfectly, you will surely get the perfect results. Check out the Vella seedai recipe. Also, check out aval murukku, thattai, arisi murukku, and curd murukku. Check out this post, where my mom explains the tips and tricks to make uppu seedai and vella seedai.

For urad dal Flour:
Dry roast 4 tbsp of urad dal in a panJust roast till golden brown.When it is cool, make it a fine powder in a mixie.
Let’s make seedai.
Roast the rice flour and urad dal flour in a dry pan on a low flame. Be careful not to change the color. Roast for 1-2 mins.Sieve this flour and roast it again.Repeat this process twice.
In the pan add the sesame seeds and roast till slightly brown. roast the coconut also till golden brown.
In a wide bowl add the roasted flour, butter, cumin seeds (if adding, no need to roast) roasted sesame seeds, coconut, and salt. Sprinkle water little by little and make it into a smooth soft pliable dough.The dough should not be too tight. Otherwise, the seedai will get cracked.
Make it into small balls by greasing your hands with coconut oil and spreading them on a newspaper.Do not roll them too hard, Just gently roll them, and do not overdo them.
Heat oil in a pan for deep frying.When the becomes hot, keep the flame at medium-low.Throw the seedai balls into the oil.Fry till the oil sound subsides.Take out from the hot oil and drain in a kitchen towel.
Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the seedais.
Cheers,Uma
