Seedai Recipe | Uppu Seedai Recipe

Uppu Seedai is the most popular traditional southindian snack prepared during gokulashtami/Krishna Jayanthi/Janmashtami. We all will have a craving to eat something crunchy many times, this is one of that easy snack which can quench the craving. There are many variations in making this really crunchy. I will share one such recipe which will remain crunchy even for a month when stored in a air tight container.

Every kid will be fond of this savoury, there is a sweet version of seedai also which is called vella seedai.This can be had as a evening snack along with tea/coffee. Instead of giving the unhealthy packaged chips items always prepare this in home and see the happiness in your kids

Note

• If the dough is loose, take a pan and add the grounded paste and stir it continuously for about 3 minutes till the moisture is lost in such a way that you are able to make a dough out of it
• If you dont have black sesame seeds you can add white also. Sesame seeds give a good flavor and its good for health.
• Its better to grind in grinder as mixie will require more water to grind.
