Raw Rice(Pacharisi) - 1/2 cup
Urad Dal - 1/2 cup
Big Onion - 1 finely chopped / Small Onion - 6 finely chopped
Coconut - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Oil - to deep fry
To temper:
Oil - 2 tspMustard seeds - 3/4 tsp
Curry Leaves - few chopped finely
Green Chillies - 2 finely chopped
Method:
- Measure raw rice and urad dal equally and soak it for atleast 2 hrs.Add water little by little and grind to a fluffy batter(like idli batter).Set aside.
- In a kadai - heat oil add the items listed under 'to temper' then add onions nad fry till slightly browned then add coconut give a quick stir and switch off.
- Transfer the above sauted ingredients to the batter along with required salt and mix well.Heat oil - when the oil gets heated up make the doughs into round balls with your hand and carefully drop it into the preheated oil.
- Turn over to other side and fry till golden brown.Drain in tissue and enjoy your seeyams.
My Notes:
- Dont bother about the exact round shapes while dropping into oil.
- You can even add 1 tbsp sago(javvarisi) while soaking rice and urad dal.
- Make sure you grind the batter fine and fluffy. I used grinder for grinding the batter.You can even use mixie but the seeyams willb e slightly hard so I recommend using grinder.
- This is crispy outside and soft inside.
- If by mistake you have grinded the batter very runny then add 1 tbsp rice flour and mix well but dont add more.
- I recommend adding small onion as it gives a great flavour.
