Ribbon Pakoda - How To Make Ribbon Murukku

A famous South Indian snack, Ribbon Pakodas are easy to much on snacks made with rice and besan/gram flour. Snacking is a popular topic in my household and among my friends. Especially so, during festival times such as now (Diwali). It is quite common in Indian culture to offer salty or savory snacks along with a sweet dish.

So to follow up on several sweet dishes that I have posted recently, I also want to mix in a snack like Sesame Ribbon Pakoda.

It is yet another simple recipe that can be completed in 30 minutes without overnight preparation. Ribbon Pakodas pretty much keep my chip cravings at bay. So, the next time you're craving something crispy and salty, try a batch of sesame ribbon pakodas as a healthy alternative to store-bought chips.

It's vegan and stores fresh for over two weeks if you store in an airtight canister.

There is no need for grinding rice instead you can use readymade store-bought rice flour. You can also use either black or white sesame seeds or jeera seeds.
