Recipe

Prep: 20 min Cook: 30 min Total: 50 min 2-3 servings

Ingredients

1 cup rice flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup roasted gram dal flour
2 tablespoons grated coconut
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1/4 teaspoon asafoetida
1 teaspoon salt
10 curry leaves
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, all-purpose flour, roasted gram dal flour, grated coconut, cumin seeds, red chili powder, asafoetida, salt, curry leaves, and sesame seeds.
  2. 2 Add butter to the dry ingredients and mix well until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. 3 Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead into a smooth, firm dough.
  4. 4 Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each portion into a thin rope about 4-5 inches long.
  5. 5 Join the ends of each rope to form a ring and press gently to seal.
  6. 6 Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
  7. 7 Once the oil is hot, carefully slide in the prepared rings and fry until they turn golden brown and crisp.
  8. 8 Remove the fried kodubale using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  9. 9 Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack.

Tips

Ensure the dough is firm to prevent the rings from breaking while frying. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less red chili powder.
