Uppu Cheedai

Once again after a long break...This time with a interesting recipe of non bursting cheedai... Generally many are quite afraid to make cheedai as it might burst... I will share my secret recipe which doesn't burst... I make this every year for Gokulashtami/Janmashtami... 

Ingredients:

Rice Flour - 2 cups
Urad Dhal Flour (Roasted and ground) - 1 tbsp
Salt -1/2 tsp
Asafoetida -1/4 tsp
Till - 1 tbsp
Jeera - 1 tbsp
Coconut water -1/2 cup
Grated Coconut - 1 tbsp
Butter - 1 tbsp
Oil - to fry

How to make:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients and keep in microwave for a minute. In case microwave is not there, roast in sim flame for 2 mins. 
(Pls note: the colour should not change)

2. Add butter and mix gently. Sprinkle coconut water little by little and mix. Make into dough (just enough to roll into balls).
(You can add 1-2 tbsp water if required)

3. Roll into small roundels. Don't try to make perfect roundels. 

4. Heat oil in a kadai, drop the balls gently in the oil and fry in sim flame. Remove it, while the colour is changing from golden brown. Normally takes 6-8 mins.
