In most of the houses, ribbon pakoda with rice flour or ribbon pakoda with ground rice batter will be made for Diwali. A few months ago, bought this ragi flour ribbon pakoda from Sri Krishna's Lala shop in Tenkasi and it tasted good with soft crispy texture. When I was planning to post Diwali recipes, my son Siva suggested to try ragi flour ribbon pakoda. To make this ragi flour pakoda you will need ragi flour, rice flour, fried gram flour, butter, asafoetida powder, white sesame seeds, asafoetida powder and oil. The butter gives the crispness and fried gram flour makes the pakoda slightly crumbly.
Tips for Ragi flour ribbon pakoda
1. Make sure to use fresh ragi flour because the old ragi flour has a nutty taste and not suitable for pakodas.
2. Roasted gram flour can be replaced with besan flour but, the texture will be slightly hard.
3. If you are not getting proper ribbon shape, then your dough is too moist, then add some rice flour and knead again.
4. If it is very hard to press while forming ribbons, it means there is less moisture in the dough. Slowly take out the dough and once again knead it smoothly with little water.
5. Just melt the butter for a few seconds and then add it to the flours. If the butter is less or not at the room temperature the pakodas are slightly hard.
