Notes
I used my idiyappam flour. You can use store-bought rice flour too.
Dry roast the flour without changing the color till all moisture is removed.
Don't skip the sieving step as it helps to prevent bursting. You can sieve them up to 4 times
Always roll the seedai very gently and soft. Don't roll it hard.
Allow it to dry for 10 minutes before frying.
Always put 1 or 2 seedai in oil and check if it is not bursting and add more.
Always fry in low flame for more time for crispier seedai. If you cook in medium or high flame seedai will be cooked outside but soft inside.
Some people use coconut too. you can dry roast and add it if using.
If you are using store-bought urad dal flour, roast it along with rice flour.
