Gokulashtami special Uppu Seedai recipe with detailed instructions and step-wise pictures. Making Uppu Seedai with ready-to-use Rice Flour is simple with this fail-proof recipe.
In a heavy bottomed pan, dry roast urad dal on low flame until golden brown.
Once cooled down, grind into a smooth powder.
In the same pan, add rice flour. Dry roast on low flame until it is aromatic. It should take about 3-4 mins. The flour should be free-flowing without any lumps.
Sieve the urad dal flour into a mixing bowl with roasted rice flour.
Add rest of the ingredients – sesame seeds, grated coconut, asafoetida, melted butter and salt.
Mix them together with your fingers, you should be able to make a lump when the mixture is pressed.
Add water as needed and make a smooth pliable dough. I had to use a little more than ½ cup water.
The dough should be soft and smooth.
Now pinch a small piece of dough and roll it lightly on your greased palm. There should be cracks on the surface and the ball should be lightly rolled.
Repeat this with 15-20 for a batch. Meanwhile heat oil for deep frying. Once the oil is hot, set it on low flame.
Add a batch of the seedai. Let it fry for 1-2 mins and then turn them around.
Continue cooking on low flame until the oil stops bubbling and the seedai are golden brown.
Remove from oil and drain onto a tissue paper. As one batch is cooking, roll the next batch and fry all seedai.
Store in an airtight container.
