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 .
