How to make Uppu Seedai?
- Soak 1 kg of raw rice after washing well in water for 2 hours.
- Then drain the water out and spread it on a kitchen towel or any cloth for 3 hours to dry.
- After 3 hours powder it in a mixer jar in lots to fine powder.
- Heat a pan and dry roast it for few minutes till the rice powder loses its dampness and become hot.
- That is when you touch the rice powder it should be bearably hot to hold with your palm.
- Transfer the powder to a broad vessel and allow it to cool.
- Dry roast the urad dal to golden brown in a pan and powder very finely. Sieve it twice and keep aside the fine powder.
- Dry roast the shredded coconut for few minutes till it becomes dry and keep aside.
- Once the rice powder is cool enough seive it twice or thrice to very fine.
- Now take 10 full ladles of rice flour in a broad vessel. Add one ladle of urad dal powder, the roasted coconut, butter, hing powder, salt to it and mix well with hand.
- Now add water little by little and knead to a soft dough like roti batter.
- Grease your palms with oil and roll them to small balls and spread them on a white cloth or kitchen towel . Let them get dried for 20 minutes.
- While rolling them to rounds don't give pressure and make tight balls. Let them be smooth balls.
- Heat oil in a pan and fry them in small lots.
- Once they come up from the bottom of the pan give a stir and wait for the balls to become light golden colour.
- The crunchy crispy balls are ready now.
Points to remember:
- The rice powder and urad dal powder should be sieved to very fine powder at least twice.
- There should not be dampness in the balls
- The balls should not be tight balls and must be loose and smooth balls.
- Check to it that the shredded coconut doesn't contain any dust or fibre.
