Note
Note
- While dropping the balls into the oil, make sure they aren’t crowded . Only if adequate space, is there between the Cheedais they will cook well.
- Take adequate care while making the balls , this way they will not burst while deep frying .
- Use cold pressed Coconut oil or Ghee instead of refined oil as much as possible to get the authentic taste and make it healthy.
- Use of butter or melted ghee is very important to provide the taste , crunchines and flavor to the cheedai.
- Chili Powder can be used instead of Cumin seeds and Pepper .
- Rice can be soaked for an hour , dried , powdered and sieved like one does for the jaggery cheedais . Roast and use to make salt cheedais .
