Lots of friends had asked for a fool proof recipe for VEELA CHEDAI. Tried out many times...will not burst if followed accurately. VELLA CHEEDAI Makes 12 big cheedais Rice flour 1 cup Urad Dal Flour – ½ tbsp Jaggery - 3/4 cup Butter – ½ tbsp Coconut – 2 tbsp White sesame Seeds – ½ tbsp Green Cardamom – 2 to 3 Oil to deep fry Method Sieve the rice flour and urad dhal flower and keep aside. ( very important). Add the powdered jaggery in a kadai and dissolve it in 1/2 cup of water. Let the jaggery syrup start boiling. Remove from heat. No need to make any paagu. In a wide bowl, add the rice flour, urad dal flour, coconut pieces, sesame seeds, crushed cardamom and butter. Mix well. Now add the jaggery syrup and knead into a smooth dough. Add extra water only if required. The dough should be tight but at the same time you should be able to roll out balls from it. Now pinch out balls, a little bigger than for uppu cheedai, don’t make it too big, else the inside won’t cook properly. The balls need not be very smooth. Rest the prepared balls on a newspaper for minimum 15 minutes. Heat oil to deep fry, once the oil is hot, turn the heat to low and add cheedais . Fry on medium flame until dark brown. Drain on tissues. Cool and transfer to airtight container.
