Thinai Ribbon Pakoda (Foxtail millet ribbon pakoda) step by step

  1. Heat a thick bottomed pan. Dry roast foxtail millet flour for 2-3 minutes.

  2. Transfer the lightly roasted flour to a wide bowl. Add rice flour, gram flour, asafoetida, chilli powder, sesame seeds and salt.

  3. Mix well with your hands, such that all ingredients are mixed evenly.

  4. Add softened butter and mix the dry ingredients again. Make sure the butter is well mixed with the flours.

  5. Add water slowly and mix to a dough. The dough should be a little softer than chapathi dough.

  6. Grease the press to be used with little oil. Also, grease the back of a circular, flat ladle with oil..

  7. Squeeze the dough into round shape on the greased ladle.

  8. Heat oil for deep frying in a pan. Once the oil is hot enough, reduce the flame to medium.

  9. Add a small pinch of dough to the hot oil. If it sizzles up, the oil is hot enough.

  10. Transfer the shaped ribbon from the ladle to the oil. You can also directly squeeze the dough onto the oil but I prefer doing it this way.

  11. Let it fry for atleast 30 seconds.

  12. Once the sizzling reduces, turn it over and wait for the sizzle to stop.
