Notes:

  • Tips for avoiding seedai burst: Do not roll tightly with pressure, do roll smooth
  • Make sure you sieve the flours properly
  • Make in small batches. Prick the seedais with a tooth pick or pin
  • Please fry the flours until it turns in colour
  • You can add a tsp of coconut oil while making the dough for extra flavour
  • Adding coconut grating enhance the flavour. The seedais smell and taste best from the next day…
  • The colour of the seedai will be in lighter side if you reduce urad dal flour. If you add more the colour will turn darker
  • Just roast the flours lightly as mentioned without changing the colour
