Ribbon Pakoda

How to Prepare

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, besan, roasted gram dal powder, red chili powder, asafoetida, and salt.
2. Add softened butter to the dry mixture and mix well until it resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Gradually add water, little by little, to form a soft, non-sticky dough.
4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
5. Fill the Ribbon Pakoda press with the dough, using the ribbon-shaped disc.
6. Press the dough directly into the hot oil in a circular motion to form ribbon shapes.
7. Fry until golden brown and crisp, turning occasionally for even cooking (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
8. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
9. Repeat the process for the remaining dough.
10. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
