Ribbon Pakoda - 2

I am posting another recipe to make Ribbon Pakoda. Here, I am using more of chickpea flour than rice flour. If you want to try my other recipe, click this link. My family and friends liked this very much. 

Ingredients : 

Chickpea flour / Besan - 2 cups

Rice flour - 1 cup

Unsalted butter - 1 tbsp, softened

Salt - 1/2 tsp per cup of flour

Chilli powder - 3 tsp

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Asafoetida - 1 tsp

Water - 1 cup + 3 tbsp

Optional - soak 1 tbsp of sesame seeds and 3 medium sized garlic pods in hot water for 30 minutes and grind it with a little water. Then extract the juice out of it and use it while making the dough. 

Mix all the dry ingredients together and then incorporate the butter well with the flour mixture. Now add the water little by little and make a soft and sticky dough. 

Now fill the Ribbon pakoda press with the dough. Heat a wide mouthed pan / wok and press it into the medium hot oil and fry until the sound subsides. Enjoy this yummy crunchy ribbon pakoda as a tea time snack.
