Wheat flour | godumai maavu 3/4 cup Rice flour 1/4 cup Coconut 1/4 cup Sesame seeds 1 tsp Butter 1 tblsp Salt 2 pinches Sugar 1/4 cup Cardamom powder a pinch Oil for deep frying Milk 1/2 cup (approx) Method:
Slightly roast the wheat flour, till it gets heat. Do not change the colour. Allow this to cool. Powder the sugar in a mixie. Roast the coconut in a pan till golden brown. Actually in the original recipe it is not mentioned to roast coconut. But i did as we usually do it for vella seedai. Roast the sesame seeds. In a wide bowl add wheat flour, rice flour ( i used store bought rice flour), coconut, sesame seeds, salt, cardamom powder and butter. Mix well with your fingers. Add the powdered sugar to this. Mix it . Sprinkle milk to this and make a tight dough. Do pour milk at a stretch. The dough should not be too loose. You should be able to make seedai ball. Make small balls out of the dough. Do in batches. Keep it covered all the times. Heat oil and once it becomes hot, bring the flame to small. Add the rolled ball in batches. Only frying takes a bit of time. Once the seedais slightly rises above the oil, keep the oil in medium flame and after 1-2 minutes bring it to low. You adjust the flame everytime so that oil should not get heated up much. If it is cooked in medium flame throughout, it will not get cooked inside and the seedais will not turn out crispy. Once it gains nice brown colour, take it out from oil and drain in the kitchen towel. One batch took 12 – 15 minutes to get fried. Repeat this for the rest of the dough.
